Author Description

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The collection includes selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 International Conference on Insulating Materials, Material Application and Electrical Engineering (MAEE2013), March 16-17, 2013, Changsha. The papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Research on Material Engineering, Technologies and Applied Mechanics; Chapter 2: Electrical Power System, Electronics and Electrical Engineering. The 68 papers cover research on material engineering, technologies, and applied mechanics; electrical power systems, electronics, and electrical engineering; and a few miscellaneous topics. Specific topics include applying a circular magnetic grid sensor in automatic viscometer for measuring the viscosity of liquid material based on fluid mechanics, the methane hydrate meta-stable property of gas hydrates applied to natural gas storage and transportation, new theories and methods for analyzing low-frequency oscillation under a smart grid framework, a grid-connected photovoltaic system with energy storage based on a direct-current bus, and modeling a permanent magnet synchronous motor system in electrical automation engineering based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system.
