Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis has long been regarded as the most dependable textbook for computer and electrical engineering majors. In this new edition, Irwin and Nelms continue to develop the most complete set of pedagogical tools available and provide the highest level of support for students entering into this complex subject. Irwin and Nelms trademark student-centered learning design focuses on helping students complete the connection between theory and practice. Key concepts are explained clearly and illustrated by detailed, worked examples. These are then followed by Learning Assessments, which allow students to work similar problems and check their results against the answers provided.

Circuit analysis is the fundamental gateway course for computer and electrical engineering majors. Irwin and Nelms’ Engineering Circuit Analysis has long been regarded as the most dependable textbook on the subject. Focusing on the most complete set of pedagogical tools available and student-centered learning design, this book helps students complete the connection between theory and practice and build their problem-solving skills. Key concepts are explained multiple times in varying formats to support diverse learning styles, followed by detailed examples, including application and design examples. These are then followed by Learning Assessments, which allow students to work similar problems and check their results against the answers provided. At the end of each chapter, the book includes a robust set of conceptual and computational problems at a wide range of difficulty levels.

Presenting an optimal energy distribution strategy for microgrids in a smart grid environment, and featuring a detailed analysis of the mathematical techniques of convex optimization and online algorithms, this book provides readers with essential content on how to achieve multi-objective optimization that takes into consideration power subscribers, energy providers and grid smoothing in microgrids. Featuring detailed theoretical proofs and simulation results that demonstrate and evaluate the correctness and effectiveness of the algorithm, this text explains step-by-step how the problem can be reformulated and solved, and how to achieve the distributed online algorithm on the basis of a centralized offline algorithm. Special attention is paid to how to apply this algorithm in practical cases and the possible future trends of the microgrid and smart grid research and applications. Offering a valuable guide to help researchers and students better understand the new smart grid, this book will also familiarize readers with the concept of the microgrid and its relationship with renewable energy.
