In 2001, Orange, a UK mobile network operator, announced the “Orange
at Home” project, a smart house incorporating the latest technology
wizardry built some 20 miles north of London. It was intended to be more
than a mere showcase, with plans for real families to move in and live
with the smart ho ...
In this research, we have designed, developed implemented a wireless sensor
networks based smart home for safe, sound and secured living environment for
any inhabitant especially elderly living alone. We have explored a methodology
for the development of efficient electronic real time data processin ...
The large-scale deployment of the smart grid (SG) paradigm could play a strategic role in
supporting the evolution of conventional electrical grids toward active, flexible and self-
healing web energy networks composed of distributed and cooperative energy resources.
From a conceptual point of view, ...
This book is intended for researchers, teachers, and students willing to ex-
plore conceptual bridges between the fields of Automatic Control and Power
Electronics. The need to bring the two disciplines closer has been felt, for
many years, both by Power Electronics specialists and by Automatic Cont ...
The use of renewable energy systems, such as wind power, hydropower, tidal
power, solar power, geothermal power and biomass burn is growing. Research in
electric power generation from renewable sources is continuously expanding and
stands for an area of high technological and financial importance. T ...
This book is based on a Ph.D. research that has been conducted at the Delft
University of Technology in the Netherlands in collaboration with Dutch Electricity
& Gas Distribution Network Operator, Stedin. This book was written as a result of
wider interest that was shown by different industry groups ...
There is an unprecedented enthusiasm for radio frequency
identification (RFID) technologies today. RFID is based on the
exchange of information carried by electromagnetic waves between a
label, or tag, and a reader. This technology is currently in full
economic expansion, which has manifested itself ...
RFID (radio-frequency identification) is the use of a wireless non-contact system
that uses radio-frequencyelectromagnetic fields to transfer datafrom a tag attached
to an object, for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking [38]. The
basic technologies for RFID have been around for a l ...
RFID networks are currently recognized as one a research area of priority. Research
activities related to RFID technology have been booming recently. A number of ongoing
projects are being funded in Europe, Asia, and North America. According to leading
market analysts, the development of the RFID ma ...
Internet of Things (IoT) [26] is a new networking paradigm for cyber-physical
systems that allow physical objects to collect and exchange data. In the IoT, physical
objects and cyber-agents can be sensed and controlled remotely across existing
network infrastructure, which enables the integration be ...
