  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. Conjoined piezoelectric harvesters and carbon supercapacitors for powering intelligent wireless sensors

    Author : Henrik Staaf; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrode material; coupled resonators; selftuning; Kinetic harvesting; Intelligent wireless sensor; piezoelectric energy harvesting; Supercapacitor; carbon nanomaterials;

    Abstract : To achieve total freedom of location for intelligent wireless sensors (IWS), these need to be autonomous. To achive this today there is a need of broadband piezoelectric energy harvesting and a long-lasting energy. The Harvester need to be able to provide sufficient amount of energy for the intelligent wireless sensor to perform its task. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies On Design of Near-Field Wireless-Powered Biphase Implantable Stimulators

    Author : Yonatan Habteslassie Kifle; Jacob Wikner; Atila Alvandpour; Sebastian Bader; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Portable and implantable electronics are becoming increasingly important in the healthcare sector. One of the challenges is to guarantee stable systems for longer periods of time. If we consider applications such as electrical nerve stimulation or implanted ion pumps, the requirements for, e.g. READ MORE
