  2. 1. Energy Harvesting for Wireless and Less-Wired Sensors in Gas Turbines

    Author : Elof Köhler; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; coupled harvester; piezoelectric harvester; piezoelectric; Energy harvester; thermoelectric harvester; harsh environment; thermoelectric; self-tuning;

    Abstract : Four types of energy harvesters aimed for gas turbine applications were developed during this thesis. The unique gas turbine environment shaped the design- and material choices. A semiconductor thermoelectric harvester was built for a location in the gas turbine with active cooling at 600°C, with 800°C wall temperature. READ MORE

  4. 2. Energy Harvesting and Energy Storage for Wireless and Less-Wired Sensors in Harsh Environments

    Author : Elof Köhler; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Piezoelectric; coupled harvester; Thermoelectric; harsh environment; piezoelectric harvester; Energy harvester; supercapacitor; Thermoelectric harvester;

    Abstract : Engineering requires sensors to control and understand the environment. This is particularly important in harsh environments. The drawbacks, especially in gas turbines is the complexity of installing a wired sensor and the weight of the wires. This makes wireless sensors attractive. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards an on-chip power supply: Integration of micro energy harvesting and storage techniques for wireless sensor networks

    Author : Agin Vyas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microsuperca- pacitor; On-chip power supply.; Piezoelectric energy harvester; CMOS compatible; MEMS;

    Abstract : The lifetime of a power supply in a sensor node of a wireless sensor network is the decisive factor in the longevity of the system. Traditional Li-ion batteries cannot fulfill the demands of sensor networks that require a long operational duration. READ MORE

  6. 4. Wirelessly Powered Communications: From Signal Optimization to Antenna Design

    Author : Boules Atef Nessim Mouris; Ragnar Thobaben; Aggelos Bletsas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wireless power transfer; multi-tone signals; non-linear energy harvester; wirelessly powered sensors; joint source-channel coding; analog mappings; energy scheduling; mutual coupling reduction; electromagnetic bandgap; glide symmetry.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Future internet-of-things (IoT) and beyond 5G communication systems are envisioned to offer large-scale wireless connectivity where the different components of life, society and industry are connected in a smart yet sustainable way. The need for continuous battery charging and/or replacement is a bottleneck for sustainability in these systems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Improved harvesting technology for thinning of small diameter stands : impact on forest management and national supply of forest biomass

    Author : Lars Sängstuvall; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Forest biomass is used as feedstock for forest products as well as for bioenergy. The current Swedish roundwood utilization is near the sustainable maximum. READ MORE
