Inspec
The Inspec Database has more than 11 million records, containing abstracts and indexing
to global literature covering physics, electrical and electronic engineering, computing and
control, information technology, mechanical and production engineering.
Its comprehensive coverage of power engineering includes all the aspects of power systems
and apparatus, and includes the closely-related fields of transportation, lighting, electrical
heating, air conditioning and refrigeration, domestic appliances and industrial applications of
power.
Information is available on topics such as: power system management, economics, control,
protection and planning, power transmission and distribution, energy resources, energy
conservation, power generation stations and plants, electric machines, power convertors,
energy conversion and energy storage, as well as documenting the rapid changes in the field.
Currently the database contains more than 830,000 records on power systems and apparatus
research, with a further 43,000 being added in the course of each year.
The screenshots shown in this brochure are from Inspec Direct, the IET’s own innovative
and highly functional online platform.
