Dynamics and Control of Energy Systems

This book presents recent advances in dynamics and control of different types of energy systems. It covers research on dynamics and control in energy systems from different aspects, namely, combustion, multiphase flow, nuclear, chemical and thermal. The chapters start from the basic concepts so that this book can be useful even for researchers with very little background in the area. A dedicated chapter provides an overview on the fundamental aspects of the dynamical systems approach. The book will be of use to researchers and professionals alike.

Compilation of state of the art research on dynamics and control of energy systems Describes wide diversity in application areas and techniques used Adopts a pedagogic approach to describing developments
