Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the results of experimental research focused on wave energy harvesting and its conversion to power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The harvesting and conversion process was performed using a wave energy converter (WEC) consisting of a lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic perovskite material and a prototype power electronic circuit. The designed WEC was considered as a power supply for an end node device (END) of an IoT network. The END consisted of a long-range radio module and an electronic paper display. A set of physical experiments were carried out, and the results confirmed that an energy surplus was supplied by WEC compared to the energy consumed by the END. Hence, the proposed scheme was experimentally validated as a convenient solution that could enable the autonomous operation of an IoT device. The use case presented here for the proposed WEC was analysed for selected sea areas on the basis of wave statistics. The novelty of this paper arises from an investigation that confirms that WECs can significantly contribute to the development of wireless and mobile IoT communication powered by freely available sea wave energy.

基于钙钛矿的波能转换器驱动的自主物联网节点设计

摘要本文介绍了波浪能量收集及其转化为物联网(IoT)设备供电的实验研究结果。利用由锆钛酸铅压电陶瓷钙钛矿材料和原型电力电子电路组成的波能转换器(WEC)进行了收集和转换过程。将所设计的WEC作为物联网网络终端节点设备(end)的电源。END由一个远程无线电模块和一个电子纸显示器组成。进行了一系列物理实验，结果证实了WEC提供的能量比END消耗的能量多。因此，该方案被实验验证为一种方便的解决方案，可以实现物联网设备的自主运行。在波浪统计的基础上，对选定海域提出的拟议WEC用例进行了分析。本文的新颖性源于一项调查，该调查证实，无线网络可以为无线和移动物联网通信的发展做出重大贡献，这些通信由免费的海浪能提供动力。
