Design of ultra-low-energy wireless sensor nodes powered by kinetic harvesters Invited Paper
In an energy harvester powered wireless sensor node system, as the energy harvester is the only energy source, it is crucial to configure the microcontroller and the sensor node so that the harvested energy is used efficiently. This paper outlines modelling, performance optimisation and design exploration of the complete, complex system which includes the analog mechanical model of a tunable ki...
متن کاملEnergy Efficient Design for Body Sensor Nodes
This paper describes the hardware requirements and design constraints that derive from unique features of body sensor networks (BSNs). Based on the BSN requirements, we examine the tradeoff between custom hardware and commercial off the shelf (COTS) designs for BSNs. The broad range of BSN applications includes situations where either custom chips or COTS design is optimal. For both types of no...
متن کاملEnergy-autonomous wireless sensor nodes for automotive applications, powered by thermoelectric energy harvesting
In this paper we will first present the measurement of temperatures on different positions at a diesel-powered car. As a result, several locations are identified as suitable to implement a wireless sensor node powered by thermal energy harvesting. Based on the data gained a thermoelectric generator (TEG) has been selected, and measurements of energy generation have been performed. Further, a co...
متن کاملMechanical Amplifier for Translational Kinetic Energy Harvesters
This paper reports the design, optimization, and test results of a mechanical amplifier coupled to an electromagnetic energy harvester to generate power from lowamplitude (±1 mm) and low-frequency (<5 Hz) vibrations in the presence of large static displacements. When coupled to a translational kinetic energy harvester, the amplifier boosts small vibration amplitudes by as much as 4x while accom...
متن کاملSensor Design for Piezoelectric Cantilever Beam Energy Harvesters
Energy harvesting for the purpose of powering low power electronic sensor systems has received explosive attention in the last few years. A common device uses the piezoelectric effect for a cantilever beams at resonance to harvest ambient vibration energy. However most of these devices have a rectangular piezoelectric patch covering all or part of the beam. This paper considers the optimum desi...
