This book provides an in-depth study of community and home eldercare in modern China, examining its integration with urban community governance. Community eldercare, established through public-private partnerships, reveals a hybrid economy where state control and marketization coexist. By situating eldercare within the community, it becomes intertwined with population governance, particularly with the recent adoption of smart care technologies. As a result, community eldercare transforms into a semi-public space that combines elements of social, physical, and emotional homes for older adults. The book explores caregivers' work, framing it as bodily, dirty, and emotional labor. In the current trend of digitalization, caregivers are not only monitored by digital technologies but are also required to interact with these technologies in addition to providing direct care. Drawing on ethnographic analysis, this book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars in human geography, gerontology, and Asian studies, as well as for policymakers and practitioners in the rapidly expanding field of eldercare. It will also resonate with a broader audience interested in the global implications of population aging and the integration of technology in care systems.

In an era of escalating energy demands and environmental challenges, mastering the complexities of renewable power systems is essential. This open access book delivers a cutting-edge exploration of innovative modeling and control techniques tailored for the unique characteristics of renewable power systems. Designed for engineers, researchers, and sustainability advocates, this book addresses critical issues such as low inertia and high variability, offering a roadmap to ensure safe, stable, and efficient operation. This comprehensive guide introduces the fully actuated system approach, a groundbreaking method that redefines how we tackle the nonlinear dynamics inherent in renewable power systems. By presenting experimentally validated solutions on hardware microgrids, the book bridges the gap between theory and practice, making it an indispensable resource for professionals aiming to enhance system reliability and control efficiency. Key topics include predictive control for DC and AC systems, learning-based optimization, and resilience strategies against cyber threats, with advanced applications like blockchain integration for secure operations. Readers will gain actionable insights into modern control strategies, rigorous modeling techniques, and emerging technologies shaping the future of renewable power systems. Whether you’re developing advanced control technologies or navigating the challenges of modern power systems, this book equips you with the knowledge and tools to lead in the renewable energy revolution.
