Deshpande R. Capacitors 2015 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

The role of capacitors to help improve grid efficiency and reliability can hardly be overstated. By producing reactive power, capacitors compensate for the reactive power consumption of electrical motors, transformers, etc. This results in more stable power grids with increased transmission capacity and reduced losses. Though an elementary electrical device, its applications in emerging fields, such as smart-grids and renewable energy, have underscored capacitor’s versatility and business value. The book “Capacitors” is an authoritative account about capacitors and related developments. Mr. Deshpande’s deep theoretical knowledge and an envious industry experience provide for ample academic treatment about the subject matter and, an evolutionary perspective of capacitor technology. The book covers capacitors for both electrical and electronic fields in sufficient details, including latest development trends. Possibility of using ultracapacitors for grid stability and power quality through active power management are very interesting. The new breed ultracapacitors are seen to have opened many new avenues for capacitor applications. Importantly for electrical or power engineering students, as also for electronic engineers, the book brings forward capacitors’ diverse business
applications and this, in my opinion, could prove inspirational for many to choose it as a career option. As a reference guide, this work is equally
valuable to young and mid-career professionals and as also to entrepreneurs connected with capacitors
