Preface

In the last decade we have seen the gradual erosion of the world’s fossil fuel resources and this in turn has led to the need increased efficiencies both in the generation of power and in the utilization of it. Moreover, the emphasis has gradually increased on the need for harnessing renewable energy sources that do not cause environmental pollution, such as wind, photovoltaic, hydraulic, among others. The need for improving the efficiency of energy generation has in turn led to the use for a range of automatic control-based techniques for regulating the conversion of the available energy into a usable form in the most optimum way. To be able to apply modern
