Evaluating Latency in Multiprocessing Embedded Systems for the Smart Grid

Database Systems for the Smart Grid

In this chapter, two aspects of database systems, namely database management and data mining, for the smart grid are covered. The uses of database management and data mining for the electrical power grid comprising of the interrelated subsystems of power generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization are discussed.

Optimal decentralised dispatch of embedded generation in the smart grid

Distribution network operators face a number of challenges; capacity constrained networks, and balancing electricity demand with generation from intermittent renewable resources. Thus, there is an increasing need for scalable approaches to facilitate optimal dispatch in the distribution network. To this end, we cast the optimal dispatch problem as a decentralised agent-based coordination proble...

Smart Cameras as Embedded Systems

A "smart camera" is basically a video camera coupled to a computer vision system in a tiny package. This communication begins stating the main differences between smart cameras and standard smart vision systems. A smart camera architecture is described whereby a combination of an on-board microprocessor and PLD’s allow for the embedding of image processing algorithms in the camera. A static thr...
