Smart Cities: Power Electronics, Renewable Energy, and Internet of Things 
Power Electronics, Renewable Energy, and Internet of Things

This book discusses the integration of power electronics, renewable energy, and the Internet of Things (Io T) from the perspective of smart cities in a single volume. The text will be helpful for senior undergraduate, graduate students and academic researchers in diverse engineering fields including electrical, electronics and communication, and computers. The book: Covers the integration of power electronics, energy harvesting, and the Io T for smart city applications Discusses concepts of power electronics and the Io T in electric vehicles for smart cities Examines the integration of power electronics in renewable energy for smart cities Discusses important concepts of energy harvesting including solar energy harvesting, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controllers, and switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) Explores Io T connectivity technologies such as long-term evolution (LTE), narrow band NB-Io T, long-range (Lo Ra), Bluetooth, and Zig Bee (IEEE Standard 802.15.4) for low data rate wireless personal communication applications The text provides the knowledge about applications, technologies, and standards of power electronics, renewable energy, and Io T for smart cities. It will serve as an ideal reference text for senior undergraduate, graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer engineering, civil engineering, and environmental engineering.
