Power Quality by C. Sankaran
Book Description
Frequency disturbances, transients,
grounding, interferencethe issues related to power quality are many,
and solutions to power quality problems can be complex. However, by
combining theory and practice to develop a qualitative analysis of
power quality, the issues become relatively straightforward, and one
can begin to find solutions to power quality problems confronted in the
real world. Power Quality builds the foundation designers, engineers,
and technicians need to survive in the current power system
environment. It treats power system theory and power quality principles
as interdependent entities, and balances these with a wealth of
practical examples and data drawn from the author's 30 years of
experience in the design, testing, and trouble-shooting of power
systems. It compares different power quality measurement instruments
and details ways to correctly interpret power quality data. It also
presents alternative solutions to power quality problems and compares
them for feasibility and economic viability. Power quality problems can
have serious consequences, from loss of productivity to loss of life,
but they can be easily prevented. You simply need a good understanding
of electrical power quality and its impact on the performance of power
systems. By changing the domain of power quality from one of theory to
one of practice, this book imparts that understanding and will develop
your ability to effectively measure, test, and resolve power quality
problems.
Artificial Intelligence for Games (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Interactive 3D Technology)
Creating robust artificial intelligence is one of the greatest challenges for Games developers.
The commercial success of a game is often dependent upon the quality of
the AI, yet the engineering of AI is often begun late in the
development process and is frequently misunderstood. In this book, Ian
Millington brings extensive professional experience to the problem of
improving the quality of AI in games. A game developer since 1987, he
was founder of Mindlathe Ltd., at the time the largest specialist AI
company in gaming. Ian shows how to think about AI as an integral part
of game play. He describes numerous examples from real games and
explores the underlying ideas through detailed case studies. He goes
further to introduce many techniques little used by developers today.
