Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report the study of vibration energy harvesting from a data center (DC) mainframe computer to power nodes of a wireless sensors network (WSN are used to improve the energy efficiency of a DC). Design/methodology/approach – The piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (VEH) has been designed using an electromechanical analytical model. The VEH is composed of a three-layer cantilever beam with a tip mass. A vibration map (amplitude and acceleration) is presented and the authors show that the optimum frequency is around 90 Hz with maximum amplitude of 1 μm and maximum acceleration of 0.6 m/s2. Modeling results and experimental measurements using an electromagnetic shaker to apply vibrations concord. Findings – The VEH delivers a maximum power of 31 μW on a DC mainframe computer and 2.3 mW at 1g on a test rack. It allows us to use a storage capacitance to successfully power a wireless sensor node for measuring temperature. This paper has been carried out in cooperation with IBM Montpellier and within the framework of the RIDER project financed by the French government and the European Union. Originality/value – A vibration map (amplitude and acceleration) is presented and the authors show that the optimal frequency is around 90 Hz with maximum amplitude of 1 μm and maximum acceleration of 0.6 m/s2. The VEH delivers a maximum power of 31 μW on DC mainframe computer and 2.3 mW at 1 g on test mounted the shaker. It allows us with a storage capacitance to successfully power a wireless sensor node for measuring temperature.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been expected to improve the capability of capturing mechanical vibration dynamic behaviors and evaluating the current health status of equipment. While the expectation for mechanical vibration monitoring using WSNs has been high, one of the key limitations is the limited lifetime of batteries for sensor node. The energy harvesting technologies have been recently proposed. One of them shares the same main idea, that is, energy harvesting from ambient vibration can be converted into electric power. Employing the vibration energy harvesting, a novel self-powered wireless sensor node has been developed to measure mechanical vibration in this paper. The overall architecture of node is proposed. The wireless sensor node is described into four main components: the energy harvesting unit, the microprocessor unit, the radio transceiver unit, and accelerometer. Moreover, the software used to control the operation of wireless node is also suggested. At last, in order to achieve continuous self-powered for nodes, two operation modes including the charging mode and discharging mode are proposed. This design can effectively solve the problem of continuous supply power of sensor node for mechanical vibration monitoring.

AbstractThere is a big challenge for research and industrial engineers to apply energy harvesting powered wireless sensors for practical applications. This is because wireless sensors is very power hungry while current energy harvesting systems can only harvest very limited energy from the ambient environment. In order for wireless sensors to be operated based on the limited energy harvested, understanding of power consumption of wireless sensors is the first task for implementation of energy harvesting powered wireless sensors systems. In this research an energy consumption model has been introduced for wireless sensor nodes and the power consumption in the life cycle of wireless communication sensors, consisting of JN5148 microcontroller and custom built sensors: a 3-axial accelerometer, a temperature sensor and a light sensor, has been studied. All measurements are based on a custom-built test bed. The power required carrying out a life cycle of wireless sensing and transmission is analysed. This paper describes how to analyse the current consumption of the system in active mode and thus power Consumption for sleeping and deployed sensors mode. The results show how much energy needs to run the energy harvesting powered wireless sensor node with JN5148 microcontroller.
