It allows different levels of reading from the simplest aspects to the most complex with examples, practical cases (charging stations, photovoltaic, wind power, industry, explosive areas, data centers …), real cases difficylt to solve and a bibliography of each chapter to go even further when necessary. In addition, you do not have to read the book from the beginning to find what you are looking for: the chapters are largely independent and a detailed summary and index makes it easy to search the print or e-book version.
