PREFACE

Being a born Indian national, I am an evidence for the energy crises in the country right from my childhood. I grew up in the rural part of India. Forty years before, the scene was completely different than today. I don't say I am a sufferer but I feel fortunate to learn and value the importance of energy in my life.

Being gown up in a united family, having a family business related to electricals and audio electronics, the concepts for electronics and electrical were clear to me from my childhood. Fortunately, it became my education, then hobby and latter profession and thereafter I grew up as an embedded technology expert in the industry and achieved my level best happiness and experience working on diversified but related core technologies for end-to-end product design and development.

I spent most of my life within country (India), since travelling is my hobby, I travelled a lot internationally and within country as well - mostly by roads. While travelling, working with colleagues, discussing with friends, listening through forums within society, I experienced pleasure and pain points of growing economy, I firstly enjoyed pains of unavailability of enough amount of electrical energy and now experiencing again a pain of side effects of increased energy demands. In the mean time I don’t remember that I have gone through a very comfortable stage of my life with energy.

My own interests and sense of responsibility to do level best to reduce the impact of the energy issues (over usage as well as unavailability of enough energy) triggered me to study further in this segment. I started my study in this direction and picked up all possible opportunities to learn more about the problem statement and tried to discover, design and implement possible solutions to these problems.

Finally I got an opportunity to cultivate my learnings in the form of this thesis through this PhD program. I started my research activity in 2013 and now it’s at the completion, over a period I put my all efforts with the help of my all collaborators. This research activity started with a problem statement of study of smart embedded system concepts, more prominently to apply for energy conservation. Over a period of years, it ended with a technology innovation to address the problem.
