Thanks to the advances in micromachining fabrication technologies and significant
cost reduction due to mass production, miniature sensors of angular rate, or
gyroscopes, found their way into the everyday life of every user of modern gadgets,
such as smart phones, tablets or even wristwatches. Often without realising, many
of us are carrying in our pockets fully equipped with all necessary sensors complete
inertial navigation systems that not so long ago were available only for advanced
vehicles in sea, land, air or space. Accelerometers and gyroscopes are found in
specifications of any gadget supposed to react to user movements. And one of the
most commonly used type of gyroscopes used to developed these systems is
Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG).

Microengineering and Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have very few
watertight definitions regarding their subjects and technologies. Microengineering
can be described as the techniques, technologies, and practices involved in the
realization of structures and devices with dimensions on the order of micrometers.
MEMS often refer to mechanical devices with dimensions on the order of
micrometers fabricated using techniques originating in the integrated circuit (IC)
industry, with emphasis on silicon-based structures and integrated microelectronic
circuitry. However, the term is now used to refer to a much wider range of
microengineered devices and technologies.

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 home. My then research establishment, the Digital World
Research Centre at the University of Surrey, was commissioned to study
how these families reacted to their new home, and to report lessons for
the future development of smart homes and smart home technologies.

The world of home automation is an exciting field that has exploded over the past
few years with many new technologies in both the commercial and open source
worlds. This book provides a gateway for those interested in learning more about
this topic and building their own projects.
With the introduction of the Raspberry Pi computer in 2012, a small and powerful
tool is now available for the home automation enthusiast, programmer, and electronic
hobbyist. It allows them to augment their home with sensors and software.

Over the past few decades there has been an exponential growth in service robots
and smart home technologies, which has led to the development of exciting new
products in our daily lives. Service robots can be used to provide domestic aid for
the elderly and disabled, serving various functions ranging from cleaning to enter-
tainment. Service robots are divided by functions, such as personal robots, field
robots, security robots, healthcare robots, medical robots, rehabilitation robots and
entertainment robots. A smart home appears “intelligent” because its embedded
computers can monitor so many aspects of the daily lives of householders. For
example, the refrigerator may be able to monitor its contents, suggest healthy alter-
natives and order groceries. Also, the smart home system may be able to clean the
house and water the plants.

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, the SG is the convergence of information and
operational technologies applied to the electric grid, providing sustainable options to
customers and improved security. Advances in research on SGs could increase the
efficiency of modern electrical power systems by: (i) supporting the massive penetration
of small-scale distributed and dispersed generators; (ii) facilitating the integration of
pervasive synchronized metering systems; (iii) improving the interaction and cooperation
between the network components; and (iv) allowing the wider deployment of self-healing
and proactive control/protection paradigms.

Electric distribution networks are critical parts of power delivery systems. In recent
years, many new technologies and distributed energy resources have been inte-
grated into these networks. To provide electricity at the possible lowest cost and at
required quality, long-term planning is essential for these networks. In distribution
planning, optimal location and size of necessary upgrades are determined to satisfy
the demand and the technical requirements of the loads and to tackle uncertainties
associated with load and distributed energy resources.

With the rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs) as well as the promotion and
application of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies, EVs charging loads, as flexible
loads, have the potential to participate in the grid services, including peak shaving
and valley filling, frequency regulation (FR), emergency power, energy market
participation, and so on. Therefore, great attention has been paid to EVs and V2G.
Focusing on the interactions between EVs and power system, this book aims to
bring readers with basic knowledge of electrical engineering promptly to the
frontier of the EVs’ influence on power system and environment. This book may
serve as a reference for scientists, electrical engineers, and postgraduate students
majoring in electrical engineering or other related fields.

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. The implemen-
tation of new technologies for the functioning and management of renewable
energy systems will help to further develop the renewable energy sector.

Battery systems for energy storage are among the most relevant technologies of the
21 st century. They – in particular modern lithium-ion batteries (LIB) – are enablers
for the market success of electric vehicles (EV) as well as for stationary energy
storage solutions for balancing fluctuations in electricity grids resulting from the
integrationofrenewableenergysourceswithvolatilesupply 1 .BothEVandstationary
storage solutions are important because they foster the transition from the usage
of fossil energy carriers towards cleaner renewable energy sources. Furthermore,
EV cause less local air pollution and noise emissions compared to conventional
combustion engine vehicles resulting in better air quality especially in urban areas.
Unfortunately, to this day, various technological and economic challenges impede a
broad application of batteries for EV as well as for large scale energy storage and
load leveling in electricity grids.
