Preface

Power engineering is truly one of the main pillars of the electricity-driven modern civilization. And over the years, power engineering has also been a multidisciplinary field in terms of numerous applications of different subjects. This ranges from linear algebra, electronics, signal processing to artificial intelligence including recent trends like bio-inspired computation, lateral computing and the like. Considering the reasons behind this, in one hand, we have vast variety of application sub-domains in power engineering itself; on the other hand, problems in these sub-domains are complex and nonlinear, requiring other complementary techniques/fields to solve them. Therefore, there is always the need of bridging these different fields and the power engineering. We often encounter the problem of distributed and scattered nature of these different disciplines while working in various sub-domains of power engineering, trying to apply some other useful techniques for some specific problem. Oftentimes, these are not direct field of work for m
