TLDR
In this paper, a design methodology for electronic systems powered by energy harvesting is proposed, and a test case is presented in which the vibrations of an electromagnetic device are harvested, converted, and used to power a wireless sensor node.Abstract:
Abstract A design methodology is proposed for electronic systems powered by energy harvesting. The methodology first considers the operating environment. It then evaluates the supply-side (the attributes of the harvester), the demand-side (the engineering application or load which receives and uses the converted power), and the power conditioning needed between supply and demand. A test case is presented in which the vibrations of an electromagnetic device are harvested, converted, and used to power a wireless sensor node. Such a node is being used for the condition based monitoring of manufacturing equipment.read more
