Bringing energy harvesting to dependable distributed control is accompanied by fascinating challenges but ultimately enables diverse new applications.

Naomi Stricker is a PhD candidate in the Computer Engineering Group at ETH Zurich. Her research focuses on energy harvesting Internet-of-Things systems and their design, optimization, and reliability. She further explores the application of energy harvesting systems in the domain of automation and control. Before starting her PhD in 2018, she worked in industry in California, USA in the area of helicopter simulators. She completed both her bachelor’s and master’s in Electrical Engineering and Information Theory at ETH Zurich in 2014 and 2016, respectively.

Title
Principal Investigators

Reliable Wireless Network Infrastructure

Lothar Thiele

Summary

In this project, we will investigate new models and methods to map and implement distributed applications to computation and communication resources while considering scalability, adaptability, low resource availabilities, low power and high dependability: Combine wireless multi-hop communication principles based on synchronous transmissions with long-range, low power protocols, e.g., LoRa. Investigate fault tolerant and fully distributed control mechanisms for network management like communication scheduling and bandwidth allocation. The approaches studied will be based on synchronous transmissions, analysis of distributed real-time systems and end-to-end real-time cyber-physical systems.

Dependable Distributed and Hierarchical Control under Energy Constraints

Lothar Thiele, Colin Jones, Silvia Mastellone

Summary

We will investigate the theoretical and practical challenges of using energy harvesting to power nodes distributed control systems. Combining energy sources such as temperature and vibration with battery systems and wireless links enables the placement of sensor nodes where they are needed for the best data quality, regardless of the availability of wired power or communication. In the context of the NCCR, we will jointly investigate some of the open challenges in the design of autonomous, energy-neutral automation systems. In a second phase, we will investigate suitable demonstrators and applications such as wireless sensing and control in motor control and energy systems.
