Abstract

Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles by Soumyabrata Patra in IEEE Sensors Journal, Vol. 20, No. 12, June 15, 2020 After careful and considered review of the content and authorship of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE’s Publication Principles. This paper contains significant portions of original text from the paper cited below.

Performance of a Modified Magnetostrictive Energy Harvester in Mechanical Vibration by Subhasish Dey, Debabrata Roy, Soumyabrata Patra, Tapan Santra, in Heliyon, Vol 5, Issue 1, January 2019 Billions of off line powered smart things with embedded intelligence, such as sensors, actuators, and connectivity will support the rapid growth of IoT in the near future. The significant impact on worldwide energy consumption from these always-connected products has driven the need for compact, highly efficient off line power converters with ultra-low standby power consumption. This paper developed a novel Magnetostrictive energy harvester (MEH) with a power electronics converter for battery-free IoT applications. The developed energy harvester using Fe-Ga alloy (7×2×42 mm 3 ) as a Magnetostrictive material is able to generate peak to peak voltage around 21.6 Vat a vibration frequency of 29 Hz with the efficiency of 49% yields an average power of 51.23 mW. Such MEH output cannot be directly used to power IoT devices as it contains harmonic. This paper proposed two prototypes, MEH as a vibration sensor with sensitivity around 55 V.s/m (volt/(meter/second)) and as a DC power source for IoT devices, which can able to provide 10 V DC at 44.4 mWpower.
