Embedded Systems An information processing system embedded into a larger product End user visualizes using the product, not the computer Other Definitions Specialized computing device not deployed as general purpose computer. A specialized computer system which is dedicated to a specific task. A device not independently programmable by the user. preprogrammed to perform a narrow range of functions with minimal end user or operator intervention. What Is An Embedded System?
Essentially any product line being built today Trains and automobiles Telecommunication Manufacturing Smart Buildings Robotics Application Areas
Typical system could integrate several technologies: Microprocessor Sensor technologies Actuator technologies (e.g. mechatronics) Power scavenging (e.g. magnetic inductance) Wireless transceivers Impossible without the computer Meaningless without the electronics Embedded Systems From Real Life
Multiple processors Up to 100 Networked together Multiple networks Body, engine, telematics, media, safety Car Example • Large diversity in processor types: • 8-bit – door locks, lights, etc. • 16-bit – most functions • 32-bit – engine control, airbags • Typical Functions: • ABS: Anti-lock braking systems • ESP: Electronic stability control • Efficient automatic gearboxes • Theft prevention with smart keys • Blind-spot alert systems
Dependable Often used in safety-critical systems Definition of dependability is application-dependent Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety, Security Efficient Energy efficient Code-size efficient (especially for systems on a chip) Run-time efficient Weight efficient Cost efficient Often involve hybrid systems (analog and digital parts) Characteristics of Embedded Systems
Real-time constraints Need timely response to stimuli from the controlled object Right answers arriving too late are wrong. Hard Real Time Systems: not meeting a deadline could result in a catastrophe response time must be guaranteed analytically Soft Real-Time Systems: it is OK to occasionally miss a deadline not too often response time can be defined statistically e.g. video streaming Characteristics of Embedded Systems
Embedded system design for smart infrastructure What is smart infrastructure? Focus
Smart Grid: Making Every Component Intelligent Clean Reliable Secure Energy Efficient Money Efficient
Smart Power Transmission and Distribution • More devices integrated such as IED, PMU, FRTU, FDR • Improved monitoring and control • Improved cybersecurity • Energy efficiency • Expense efficiency

Property 1: Dynamic Pricing from Utility Company Illinois Power Company’s price data Price ($/kwh) Pricing for one-day ahead time period 27
Property 2: Renewable Energy Resource • Marcelo Gradella Villalva, Jonas Rafael Gazoli, and Ernesto Ruppert Filho. Comprehensive Approach to Modeling and Simulation of Photovoltaic Arrays. IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, Vol. 24, No. 5, May 2009 28
Benefit of Smart Home • Reduce monetary expense • Reduce peak load • Maximize renewable energy usage 29
Smart Scheduling • Demand Side Management • when to launch a home appliance • at what frequency • The variable frequency drive (VFD) is to control the rotational speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor through controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor • for how long • use grid energy or renewable energy • use battery or not 31
VFD Impact Powerr Power 3 cents / kwh 5 cents/kwh 3 cents / kwh 5 cents/kwh 10 kwh 5 kwh 1 2 3 1 2 Time Time (b) (a) cost = 5 kwh * 5 cents/kwh + 5 kwh * 3 cents/kwh = 40 cents cost = 10 kwh * 5 cents/kwh = 50 cents 32
Uncertainty of Appliance Execution Time • In advanced laundry machine, time to do the laundry depends on the load. How to model it? 33
Tripping Out 35
Problem Formulation • Given n home appliances, to schedule them for monetary expense minimization considering VFD and variations • Algorithm for continuous VFD • Algorithm for discrete VFD • Solutions for continuous VFD • Solutions for discrete VFD 1 2 3 4 36
Design The Control Board Power flow Internet Control flow 37
Next Step For Multiple Users • Pricing at 10:00am is cheap, so how about scheduling everything at that time? Will not be cheap anymore 10:00 42
Impact To The Power System? • How does it impact the power system with and without smart home scheduling? 44
Summary • What is an embedded system? • What are the characteristics? • What is smart home? • How to implement it? 45
