Micropower Energy Harvesting for Inear Devices
This research aims to provide a unique perspective on energy harvesting from ear canal dynamic motion that can be used to power electronic in-ear devices. Two micro-power generators are presented: one of them has a miniature hydro-electromagnetic core and another one is composed of a micro piezo film sheet in shape of a ring. The experimental results will show that 1.2μW and 0.2μW could be succ...
متن کاملPerformance, stability and operation voltage optimization of screen-printed aqueous supercapacitors
Harvesting micropower energy from the ambient environment requires an intermediate energy storage, for which printed aqueous supercapacitors are well suited due to their low cost and environmental friendliness. In this work, a systematic study of a large set of devices is used to investigate the effect of process variability and operating voltage on the performance and stability of screen print...
متن کاملMicropower System Modeling with Homer
The HOMER Micropower Optimization Model is a computer model developed by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to assist in the design of micropower systems and to facilitate the comparison of power generation technologies across a wide range of applications. HOMER models a power system’s physical behavior and its life-cycle cost, which is the total cost of installing and operati...
متن کاملEnergy Harvesting for Wireless Autonomous Sensor Systems
All these devices need a compact, low-cost and lightweight energy source, which allows the desired portability and energy autonomy. Today, batteries represent the dominant energy source for the devices listed in Table I and alike. In spite of the fact that energy density of batteries has increased by a factor of 3 over the past 15 years, their presence in many cases has a large impact on, or ev...
متن کاملAssessing the operational robustness of the HOMER model for Marine Corps use in expeditionary environments
As the Marine Corps pursues greater energy efficiency in expeditionary operations, the HOMER micropower optimization model provides potential to serve as a powerful tool for improving Marine Corps power planning. The HOMER software was developed for the modeling and simulation of micropower systems over long periods of time. Although a deterministic model, HOMER uses stochastic input data, spec...
