The primary goal of the River Rapids Series on Power and Energy is to offer a comprehensive collection of educational books that explore the evolving landscape of power systems, energy technologies, and their intersection with digital innovation. As global energy demand rises and the transition to cleaner, more resilient grids accelerates, this series aims to provide deep insights into both foundational principles ... and emerging developments in the field. Topics span traditional power engineering, advanced grid architectures, and the integration of renewables and storage, as well as the role of power electronics, cybersecurity, and smart systems in shaping the energy future.

Subjects covered in the series include but are not limited to:

• Decarbonisation of Energy Systems and Low-Carbon Technologies
• Industrial Energy Efficiency and Optimization
• ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) in the Energy Sector
• Renewable Energy (wind, solar PV, geothermal) and Energy Storage Systems
• Cybersecurity for Energy and Critical Infrastructure
• Artificial Intelligence Applications in Energy Systems
• Smart Grids and Digital Transformation
• Grid Reliability and Resilience
• Power Electronics and Control Systems
• Electrification of Transport and Electrical Vehicles
