Estimating the electrical demand of buildings was once the sole remit of the electrical engineer. However, as engineers, architects, developers, and building owners become more focused on sustainability, environmental impacts, and energy efficiency, estimating power demand today requires a team effort. In this short introductory book, Estimating Power Demand in Buildings, Steven McFadyen provides a simple and clear understanding of the process by covering power theory and well- established procedures. He outlines the roles of the various stakeholders in this new landscape. His experience and expertise allow him to offer practical solutions to the electrical engineer in completing the task at hand, as well as in relation to navigating projects that re...

Each era brings with it new techniques and methods of waging a war. While military scholars and experts have mastered land, sea, air and space warfare, time has come that they studied the art of cyberwar too. Our neighbours have acquired the capabilities to undertake this new form of asymmetric form of warfare. India too therefore needs to acquire the capabilities to counter their threat. Cyber space seems to have invaded every aspect of our life. More and more systems whether public or private are getting automated and networked. This high dependence of our critical infrastructure on Information and Communication Technology exposes it to the vulnerabilities of cyberspace. Enemy now can target such infrastructure through the cyberspace and degrade/ d...

The concept of the smart grid promises the world an efficient and intelligent approach of managing energy production, transportation, and consumption by incorporating intelligence, efficiency, and optimality into the power grid. Both energy providers and consumers can take advantage of the convenience, reliability, and energy savings achieved by real-time and intelligent energy management. To this end, the current power grid is experiencing drastic changes and upgrades. For instance, more significant green energy resources such as wind power and solar power are being integrated into the power grid, and higher energy storage capacity is being installed in order to mitigate the intermittency issues brought about by the variable energy resources. At the...
