Performance Enhancement and Control of Photovoltaic Systems brings together the latest advances in photovoltaic control and integration, with various embedded technologies applied to standalone and grid connected systems in normal and abnormal operating conditions, with new approaches intended to overcome a number of critical limitations in using PV technology. The book begins by introducing modern photovoltaic (PV) systems, system integration, materials, and thermodynamic analysis for improved performance, before examining applications in industrial processes, artificial neural network technology, and economic analysis of PV systems. In-depth chapters then demonstrate the use of advanced control and optimization techniques, covering the use of new embedded technologies, through different applications such as MPPT controllers, solar trackers, cleaning systems, cooling systems, and monitoring systems. Applications of photovoltaic energy systems in distributed generation, microgrid, and smart grid systems will be considered.

Digital transformation, also known as Industry 4.0, Smart Industry, and Smart Manufacturing, is at the top of leaders' agendas. Such a transformation stimulates innovation in new products and services, the digital transformation of processes, and the creation of new business models and ecosystems. In the world of manufacturing, Industry 4.0 is based on various technological advances, among which we can mainly cite CPS (cyber-physical systems), IoT (Internet of Things), and IoS (internet of services).While engaging, this fourth wave also brings significant challenges for manufacturers. Business operations and the supply chain are becoming more vulnerable to cyber threats.Security Engineering for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems is an invaluable resource to discover cybersecurity and privacy techniques for embedded and cyber-physical systems. This book presents the latest studies and research results on all aspects of security engineering for embedded and cyber-physical systems. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary reference for researchers, practitioners, and educators to discover the most recent innovations, trends, concerns, and practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in security engineering for embedded and cyber-physical systems.The book offers comprehensive coverage of the essential topics, including the following:Embedded and cyber-physical systems threats and vulnerabilitiesSecurity engineering techniques for embedded and cyber-physical systemsSecurity engineering for embedded and cyber-physical systems and potential future-use casesArtificial intelligence techniques for cybersecurity and privacySecurity engineering for Internet of ThingsBlockchain for cybersecurity in embedded and cyber-physical systemsThis book comprises a number of state-of-the-art contributions from both scientists and practitioners working in security engineering for embedded and cyber-physical systems. It aspires to provide a relevant reference for students, researchers, engineers, and professionals working in this area or those interested in grasping its diverse facets and exploring the latest advances and future trends related to security engineering for embedded and cyber-physical systems.

This book provides insights into recent advances in Machine Intelligence (MI) and related technologies, identifies risks and challenges that are, or could be, slowing down overall MI mainstream adoption and innovation efforts, and discusses potential solutions to address these limitations. All these aspects are explored through the lens of smart applications. The book navigates the landscape of the most recent, prominent, and impactful MI smart applications. The broad set of smart applications for MI is organized into four themes covering all areas of the economy and social life, namely (i) Smart Environment, (ii) Smart Social Living, (iii) Smart Business and Manufacturing, and (iv) Smart Government. The book examines not only present smart applications but also takes a look at how MI may potentially be applied in the future. This book is aimed at researchers and postgraduate students in applied artificial intelligence and allied technologies. The book is also valuable for practitioners, and it serves as a bridge between researchers and practitioners. It also helps connect researchers interested in MI technologies who come from different social and business disciplines and who can benefit from sharing ideas and results.
