Self-Powered Self-Contained Wireless Vibration Synchronous Sensor for Fault Detection

Failure in dynamic structures poses a pressing need for fault detection systems. Interconnected sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks (WSN) offer a solution by communicating information about their surroundings. Nonetheless, these battery-powered sensors have an immense labor cost and require per...

description Failure in dynamic structures poses a pressing need for fault detection systems. Interconnected sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks (WSN) offer a solution by communicating information about their surroundings. Nonetheless, these battery-powered sensors have an immense labor cost and require periodical battery maintenance and replacement. Batteries pose a significant environmental threat that is expected to cause irreversible damage to the ecosystem. We introduce a fully integrated vibration-powered energy harvester sensor system that is interfaced with a custom-developed fault detection app. Vibrations are used to power a radio frequency (RF) transmitter that is integrated with the vibration sensor subunit. The harvester-sensor unit is comprised of dual moving magnets that are bordered by coil windings for power and signal generation. The power generated from the harvester is used to operate the transmitter while the signal generated from the sensor is transmitted as a vibration signal. Transmitted values are streamed into a high precision fault detection app capable of detecting the frequency of vibrations with an error of 1%. The app employs an FFT algorithm on the transmitted data and notifies the user when a threshold vibration level is reached. The total energy consumed by the transmitter is 0.894 µJ at a 3 V operation. The operable acceleration of the system is 0.7 g [m/s(2)] at 5–10.6 Hz.
