Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic experimental identification of an inductive energy harvester for the conversion of vibration energy into electric power is presented. Recent advances and requirements in structural monitoring and vehicle diagnostic allow defining Autonomous Internet of Things (AIoT) systems that combine wireless sensor nodes with energy harvester devices properly designed considering the specific duty cycle. The proposed generator was based on an asymmetrical magnetic suspension and was addressed to structural monitoring applications on vehicles. The design of the interfaces of the electric, magnetic, and structural coupled systems forming the harvester are described including dynamic modeling and simulation. Finally, the results of laboratory tests were compared with the harvester dynamic response calculated through numerical simulations, and a good correspondence was obtained.

Introduction

The widespread adoption of IoT (Internet of Things) devices and technologies has seen their application in different and various fields, including in industrial ones These wireless devices have became more and more interesting to industries, especially for maintenance and diagnostics. By means of these devices, it is possible to create a wireless sensors network, where each node is capable of giving fundamental data for a new and deeper knowledge of the components, structure, or vehicle under monitoring. The need for an alternative power supply for these sensor networks emerges For this reason, the research topic of energy harvester devices continues to grow, especially in the Autonomous Internet of Things (AIoT) field.
