The journey of the control system may be viewed from the control of steam engines to spacecraft, aeroplane missile control systems to networked control systems and cybersecurity controls. In terms of industrial control and application, the journey starts from the design of P-I-D controllers to fuzzy controllers, neuro-fuzzy controllers, backstepping controllers, sliding mode controllers, and event-triggered controls for networked control systems. Recently, control theory has spread its golden feathers in different fields of engineering by use of the splendid tool of the control system. In this era, the boom of the Internet of Things is at its maximum pace. Different biomedical applications also come under this umbrella and provide the easiest way to continuous monitoring. One of the prominent research areas of green energy and sustainable development in which control plays a vital role is load frequency controllers, control of solar thermal plants, an event-driven building energy management system, speed-sensorless voltage and frequency control in autonomous DFIG-based wind energy, Hazardous Energy Control Programs, and many more. In the era of the 21st century, every system is continuously trying to be smarter and smarter whether in the direction of technology or software as well as in terms of hardware. One of the easiest methods to be smart is the internet. Therefore, research in the Internet of Things (IoT) has converged different real-time engineering branches under one umbrella. One example of smart technology is that you are not only connected to your home physically, bute as well as mentally with all members of the family by continuous monitoring of their activity. When they need you in an emergency, you may also arrange the support automatically with the relief team by using smart houses and appliances with remote accessing options.

This groundbreaking new volume from Wiley-Scrivener discusses the challenges that are emerging while managing the resources in various wireless networking technologies.

Whether for the veteran engineer, industry professional, or student, this is a must have for any library.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a self-organized network which consists of sensors, softwarec and devices. The data is exchanged among them with the help of the internet. Smart Grids (SG) is a collection of devices deployed in larger areas to perform continuous monitoring and analysis in that region. It is responsible for balancing the flow of energy between the servers and consumers. SG also takes care of transmission and distributing power to the components involved. The tracking of the devices present in SG is achieved by the IoT framework. Thus, assimilating IoT and SG will leads to developing solutions for many real-time problems. The wireless communication protocol helps data transmission between the devices involved in IoTSG, and cloud and fog computing helps to process the edge servers with low latency and avoid congestion between the devices which are geographically dispersed. The voluminous data present in the edge servers needs an efficient big data analytics procedure, in order to avoid computation overhead, which in turn helps to save the energy of the devices deployed. In addition to energy harvesting, intelligence of the devices could be improved by incorporating Machine learning (ML) techniques. This also helps IoTSGs to automate the things in a sensible way for real time applications.This exciting new volume covers all of these technologies, including the basic concepts and the problems and solutions involved with the practical applications in the real world. Whether for the veteran engineer or scientist, the student, or a manager or other technician working in the field, this volume is a must-have for any library.

AIR POLLUTION, CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGEAnthropogenic climate change is a globally recognized threat multiplier. Yet, decades of intergovernmental negotiations have failed to curb toxic levels of fossil fuel energy-related air pollution which the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified as the world's largest, single environmental health risk. Lying in plain view are the troubling truths about the morbidity and ill-health burdens associated with anthropogenic climate change that are borne by those who have done the least to contribute to per capita emissions of greenhouse gas emissions. Ignoring the nexus between air pollution, lack of access to clean energy and climate adversities represents a collective failure of the UN's ambitious, universally agreed upon 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda (SDA) which pledged 'to leave no one behind'.This book highlights the air pollution crisis that emanates from the heavy reliance on polluting forms of energy and the urbanization of poverty in developing countries. It provides a framework for understanding why the broader sustainable development community needs to address the more neglected intersection between adverse climatic impacts and energy-related air pollution which devastates the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable amongst us, especially young children, women and the elderly.It focuses on the importance of breaking down persistent global silos and goals on sustainable energy for all, and climate change reflected in the UN?s 2030 SDA, and the 2015 Paris Agreement. Integrating clean air and climate mitigation measures that specifically include curbing short lived climate pollutants such as black carbon via innovative partnerships/modalities are seen as vital to clean energy and climate responsive action. This book argues that linked actions by non-nation state actors aimed at reducing air pollution and ameliorating short term climate pollutants in the most populous cities, particularly in countries like India where annual average particulate matter pollution levels consistently exceed WHO guidelines are essential in reducing grave health costs and disease burdens.Air Pollution, Clean Energy and Climate Change will be of particular interest to policy makers, researchers, environmental advocates, civil society stakeholders and practitioners who want to understand the urgency of addressing linkages between climate change, fossil fuel energy, air pollution and public health risks.The cover image is an oil painting by Anilla Cherian, which incorporates tree bark and twigs, and serves as a reminder of the daily energy sources used by millions who lack access to clean energy and are exposed to high levels of household air pollution. It is the second-part of a series, with the first one serving as the cover image to Energy and Global Climate Change (Cherian, 2015). Photograph of painting by Alison Sheehy Photography.
