The book contains all essential fundamentals of high- and extra high voltage overhead lines and underground cables. Its main contents are as follows: • Fundamentals and history of high-voltage AC and DC transmission • Design and structure of power supply networks • Introduction to network planning and operation • Design of overhead lines and underground cable routes • Approval procedures and environmental impact assessment for projects • Characteristics of overhead lines and cables, grid calculation basics, various examples • Overhead line components including tower foundations and conductor stringing • Uprating and upgrading of overhead lines • Cables for high-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) • Cable laying methods, partial undergrounding and monitoring • Comparison of the technical properties of cables and overhead lines • Comparison of the total costs of cables and overhead lines • Future developments in power transmission • Application of Artificial Intelligence in grid operation and -maintenance Konstantin O. Papailiou studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig and earned his doctorate at ETH Zurich. He is Honorary Professor at the Technical University of Dresden in High-Voltage Overhead Lines and was Chief Executive Officer of the Pfisterer Group until 2011. From 2010 to 2016 he chaired the CIGRE Study Committee "Overhead Lines". Author of more than one hundred scientific papers and several books, including the Springer Handbook of Power Systems, he is presently President of CIGRE. Herbert Lugschitz, electrical engineer, worked for 40 years at Austrian Power Grid specializing in extra-high-voltage lines and was engaged in the discourse on overhead lines and underground cables. He worked also in standardization, chaired the Technical Committee “Overhead Lines and Embedding of Power Cables” of the Austrian Electrotechnical Association OVE, and at CENELEC establishing the European Standard for overhead lines. He has been with CIGRE since the 1980ies, chaired Study Committee “Overhead Lines” for six years. Markus Palic, after studying electrical energy technology, he worked for over 30 years in various positions in energy supply companies in the fields of energy management and grid construction, most recently as Chief Executive Officer of a regional grid company. At the same time, he was a lecturer in “Energy Economics in Liberalized Energy Markets” at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences, for many years. He has published more than 30 papers and two technical books on electrical engineering. Guntram Schultz studied Electrical Power Engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT (formerly University of Karlsruhe). He worked as planning engineer for several years in a Southern German power supply company. From 1981 on Professor at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences (areas: Planning and developing of power grids, Renewable Energy) and Dean of the Faculty of Electrical and Information Technology. After retirement, Honorary Professor, lecturer and program coordinator for further education of young engineers.

Innovative intelligent industrial production and logistics [electronic resource] : 6th IFAC/INSTICC International Conference, IN4PL 2025, Marbella, Spain, October 23-24, 2025 : proceedings. Part II / edited by José Barata, Kurosh Madani, Hervé Panetto.（Open in new window）

2026.10.16

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 4th International Conference, IN4PL 2023, held in Rome, Italy, during November 15-17, 2023 The 11 full papers and the 13 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The book focuses on research and development involving innovative methods, software and hardware, whereby intelligent systems are applied to industrial production and logistics. This is currently related to the concept of industry 4.0 - an expression reflecting the trend towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes which include cyber-physical systems, the industrial internet of things, industrial robotics, cloud computing, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence.

Climate resilience and data forecasting [electronic resource] : selected papers of 2025 International Conference on Climate-resilient and Low-carbon Cities / edited by Bao-Jie He ... [et al.].（Open in new window）

2026.10.08

Global warming and extreme weather events are becoming increasingly severe, and climate risks are particularly prominent. The current unsustainable development model of human society will exacerbate climate change and destroy ecosystems, and the impacts and risks caused by climate change will further threaten the already stressed human economic and natural ecosystems. These risks and impacts are becoming increasingly complex, compound, and consequential, and may interact with each other, further amplifying the resulting losses and damages. Resilience is the ability of a social, economic, and environmental system to deal with catastrophic events, trends, or disturbances, and to maintain its essential functions, positioning, and structure while responding or reorganizing, and to maintain its ability to adapt, learn, and transform. The world urgently needs to take timely and strong actions to promote comprehensive and systematic transformation and adaptation, and to seek a path of climate - resilient development. This book focuses on two major research directions on climate resilience. One is the enhancement of the climate resilience of urban ecosystems. The other is the application of artificial intelligence and big data. The first part starts with urban ecosystems by analyzing the performance and capacity of urban ecosystems under extreme weather and the increasingly severe climate change and providing measures and technical solutions related to urban climate resilience. The second part presents the integration of artificial intelligence into climate resilience and climate change prediction which enables people to better predict the changes in climate and choose better solutions to deal with and solve the problems. The intelligent systems also enable decision makers to better deliver early warning and adaptation functions. The potential readers of this book are engineers, scholars, and Ph.D in the field of environmental engineering and urban planning.

Spectral networks [electronic resource] : bridging higher-rank Teichmüller theory and BPS states / by Clarence Kineider ... [et al.].（Open in new window）

2026.10.07

This open access book offers a comprehensive introduction to spectral networks from a unified viewpoint that bridges geometry with the physics of supersymmetric gauge theories. It provides the foundational background needed to approach the frontiers of this rapidly evolving field, treating geometric and physical aspects in parallel. After surveying fundamental topics in algebra and geometry, a detailed introduction to higher-rank Teichmüller theory is developed, including Fock–Goncharov theory for Hitchin representations, maximal representations and the more recent notion of Θ-positivity. Spectral networks are subsequently introduced, emphasizing their utility in the study of character varieties via the abelianization and non-abelianization maps they define. In parallel, key aspects of four-dimensional gauge dynamics with eight supercharges are explored, including electric–magnetic duality, Seiberg–Witten theory, and class S theories. The role of spectral networks as a framework for determining and analyzing BPS spectra in class S theories is then examined. The final chapter outlines recent applications of spectral networks across a range of contemporary research areas. This volume is intended for researchers and advanced students in either mathematics or physics who wish to enter the field.
