Stability Analysis of Grid-Connected Converters

Fundamentals of the Hybrid Metal Extrusion and Bonding Process details this novel solid-state welding method (HYB) that utilizes continuous rotary extrusion as a technique to enable metallurgical bonding between different metals and alloys by aluminum filler metal additions. Due to its versatility and flexibility the process can be applied to solid-state plate surfacing and additive manufacturing, each of which is also outlined in the book. The book starts with an overview of the current challenges involved with welding aluminum alloys, including those associated with conventional fusion welding and friction stir welding of age-hardening Al-Mg-Si alloys. Readers will gain insight into how the properties achieved depend on both the chemical composition and the applied thermomechanical processing and heat treatment schedules. Simple analytical models are presented for rapid assessment of the response of the alloys to welding, and sections on diffusion and intermetallic compound formation during multimaterial joining and modeling and simulation of the thermal, microstructural, and strength evolution fields during welding are also discussed. From there, the book then introduces the HYB method and how it can help overcome those commonly-encountered welding challenges. Following chapters outline the design of the extruder tool, explain how to tailor the process, how to select the tool material and coating, and how to design the cooling, wire feeding, and control systems. The book concludes with a chapter providing guidance on optimization and upscaling, demonstrating the competitive advantages HYB has over conventional welding methods such as gas metal arc welding, laser beam welding, and friction stir welding.

Written by scholars and activists, Atlas of Green Energy Transitions: Frontiers of Power, Conflict, and Possibilities employs immersive first-person narrative descriptions and rich imagery to tell the oft-revealing stories of contestation, exploitation, and complication within the landscapes upon which the world's green energy transition depends: the unsanctioned cobalt mines of the Congo, the solar farms clearing vast tracts of the Mojave Desert, the scattered e-waste operations of Zimbabwe, among others. Organized around the global supply chain, each chapter traces an abiotic protagonist from extraction to consumption, exploring the ecological and cultural contexts of its use in renewable energy technologies.In response to these stories, counternarratives propose alternatives to silver-bullet ecomodernism, advocating for just practices and reciprocal relationships with our host landscapes. Grounded in the specificity of place, the collection heightens awareness of land relations and global interconnection. It not only engages with the urgent realities of the energy transition but also showcases landscape architecture's unique ability to visualize environmental challenges, prompt interdisciplinary action, and imagine transformative futures. The book targets an audience of students and practitioners of the built environment while seeking to inspire the inner designer in all readers.

Plastic is omnipresent in our daily lives. But the companies that make it-petrochemical companies which are often subsidiaries of Big Oil like ExxonMobil and Dow Chemical-seem to be hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Through a mix of investigative deep dive and vivid character-driven storytelling, Plastic Inc for the first time tells the story of a vast, rapacious industry that, despite public opinion universally calling for less waste and fossil fuel emissions, is preparing to double and eventually triple plastic production by 2050. Award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner gives readers an up-close look at the plastic industry's relentless growth, its manipulation of culture and governments, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution and its pivotal role in exacerbating climate change. That for decades Big Oil's masterplan has been to grow plastics in the face of diminishing demand for fossil fuels in a post oil and gas world. Every chapter in Plastic Inc brings new revelations, including: How Big Oil invented the idea of recycling in order to produce more plastic, aware that recycling at scale would never work.How Big Oil created and funded litter campaigns in the 1970s to push responsibility onto the consumer, and away from the producersHow microplastics are becoming a huge public health crisisHow Big oil colludes with US lobby groups and ploughs huge resource into preventing even the smallest town-wide ban on plastic bags or take away containers. The stories in Plastic Inc will reframe for readers a problem many of us think we understand, but which has deeper roots and a more complex future than we can have possibly imagined.
