Development and Integration of Vibration-Based Energy Harvester into the Sensor Module
FY 2020-21 · 2020-06-01
Summary
Currently, Nanoprecise has a sensor called RotationLF, which runs on battery, that lasts anywhere from 0.5 - 3 years depending on the number of uploads per day. This limits the use cases for our present sensor. We would like to harvest energy from vibrations and temperature fluctuations to be able to make its battery last above 5 years. For this, we need a 3rd party energy harvesting source like Revibe (datasheet attached) to feed its output to e-peas microcontroller AEM30940 (datasheet attached). We need to add following new elements to our existing sensor to harvest energy continuosly:
here will be three additional modules for this to work.
1. Energy Harvester (Revibe)
2. Microcontroller
3. Supercapacitor

Description (French)
Actuellement, Nanoprecise dispose d'un capteur appelé RotationLF, qui fonctionne sur batterie, et qui dure entre 0,5 et 3 ans selon le nombre de téléchargements par jour. Cette caractéristique limite les cas d'utilisation de notre capteur actuel. Nous aimerions capturer l'énergie des vibrations et des fluctuations de température pour pouvoir faire durer sa batterie au-delà de 5 ans. Pour ce faire, nous avons besoin d'une source d'énergie tierce comme Revibe (fiche technique jointe) pour alimenter sa sortie vers le microcontrôleur de pois électroniques AEM30940 (fiche technique jointe). Nous devons ajouter les nouveaux éléments suivants à notre capteur existant pour récolter l'énergie en continu; voici trois modules supplémentaires pour que cela fonctionne : 1. collecteur d'énergie (Revibe) 2. microcontrôleur 3. supercondensateur.
