The necessity to distribute energy wirelessly has been spurred by the tremendous growth in the use of portable devices. Mobile devices have become ubiquitous and the circuits within them have been optimized to consume extremely low amounts of power. Such portable electronic sets are in constant use and the frequent need to recharge them; using conventional wired mechanisms have hindered the mobility of users. Wireless transmission of energy to power-up devices has been proposed since the days of Tesla and since then many theories and methods have been invented. This paper discusses some of those techniques briefly.

We propose an electrically self-reliant structural health monitoring (SHM) system that is able to wirelessly transmit sensing data using electrical power generated by vibration without the need for additional external power sources. The provision of reliable electricity to wireless SHM systems is a highly important issue that has often been ignored, and to expand the applicability of various wireless SHM innovations, it will be necessary to develop comprehensive wireless SHM devices including stable electricity sources. In light of this need, we propose a new, highly efficient vibration-powered generator based on a tuned-mass-damper (TMD) mechanism that is quite suitable for vibration-based SHM. The charging time of the TMD generator is shorter than that of conventional generators based on the impedance matching method, and the proposed TMD generator can harvest 16 times the amount of energy that a conventional generator can. The charging time of an SHM wireless transmitter is quantitatively formulated. We conduct wireless monitoring experiments to validate a wireless SHM system composed of a self-reliant SHM and a vibration-powered TMD generator.

개인 휴대용 의료단말기는 적은 정보량의 전송과 전력을 적게 소모함으로써 장기간 사용할 수 있는 무선 전송 시스템을 필요로 한다. 현재의 의료 단말기용 무선 전송 시스템은 Bluetooth를 이용하고 있지만 이는 장기간 휴대용 의료 단말기에 사용하기에는 전력 소모가 커서 사용에 지장이 있다 이에 Bluetooth보다는 전송 속도는 느리지만 전력 소모가 더욱 적은 Zigbee 프로토콜을 이용한 모듈을 설계하여 장기간 사용할 수 있는 의료 단말기용 무선 전송 시스템을 설계하였다.

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has been attractive since it can not only treat organic waste in an eco-friendly way by digesting it but also generate electricity by the unique metabolic process of microbes. However, it hasn't been employed in practical use until now because it is hard to integrate a small electricity up to an adequate amount of electric power and difficult to keep its bio-electric activity consistent. In this study, we combined an energy harvester with MFC (MFC-EH) to make the power-integration convenient and developed an energy self-sustainable wireless sensor system driven by a stable electric power produced by MFC-EH. Additionally, we build the low power application measuring data to be cast by the web in real-time so that it can be quickly and easily accessed through the internet. The proposed system could contribute to improvement of waste treatment and up-cycling technologies in near future.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is the technology that forces the power to transmit electromagnetic field to an electrical load through an air gap without interconnecting wires. This technology is widely used for the applications from low power smartphone to high power electric railroad. In this paper, the model of wireless power transfer circuit for the low power system is designed for a resonant frequency of 13.45 MHz. Also, a feedback WPT circuit to improve the power transfer efficiency is proposed and shown better performance than the original open WPT circuit, and the methodology for power efficiency improvement is studied as the coupling coefficient increases above 0.01, at which the split frequency is made.

In this paper, We propose a portable electrostatic meter which can measure high voltage static electricity caused by friction to prevent fire or explosion accidents in grinding, crushing, power injection, transport, filling, dust removal, painting, and foreign matter removal processes. The proposed device not only shows static electricity strength in 4 steps with respect to distance and voltage but also gives warning with a buzzer, on process facilities that are likely to generate high voltage static electricity due to friction. The device is implemented by filtering the signal detected by the wireless antenna, amplifying the signal by 6 times, and passing the signal through the integrator circuit. Tests are carried out with an electrostatic discharge simulator. And the results show that 4 LEDs are turned on at the distance of 10cm, 3 LEDs at 12cm, 2 LEDs at 13cm, and 1 LED at 15cm, when a fixed voltage of 500V is given. And also, the tests show that the static electricity can be detected at 5cm on 100V, 10cm on 200V, 15cm on 500V, 20cm on 1000V, and 25cm on 1500V. We expect to reduce accidents caused by static electricity by allowing safety managers on fields where fire or explosion accidents can happen to monitor static electricity.

본 논문에서는 각 가정이나 사무실에 설치된 전기, 수도, 가스 등 계량기의 사용량을 종합하여 검침원 호변방문 없이 외부에서 검침할 수 있도록 블루투스와 임베디드 시스템을 이용하여 원격 검침시스템을 구현하였다. 블루투스란 2.4GHz 대의 무선 주파수를 사용하는 근거리 무선 통신 기술로서 저전력 특성과 고속의 주파수 호핑 방식에 따른 높은 신뢰성 및 자체 에러 정정 기술을 지니고 있다. 이는 기존의 무선 모뎀보다 데이터 전송에 있어서 높은 신뢰성을 얻을 수 있게 해준다. 그리고 자체 네트워크망을 형성하므로 손쉽게 다른 기기와의 통신을 가능케 한다. 또한 무선 모뎀은 무선 단말기 소형화에 따른 제약을 받고 있으나 블루투스를 사용함으로써 저전력 특성과 더불어 휴대용으로의 기능에 부합시킬 수 있으며, 모듈의 원칩화가 진행됨에 따라 작은 크기로의 가능성이 제시된다. 또한 임베디드 시스템의 이동성을 이용하여 검침원이 외부에서 이동을 하면서 검침이 가능하며 시스템을 저전력의 ARM 프로세서를 이용함으로서 오랜 시간 장비의 효율적 사용이 가능 할 것이다.

Recently, there are many studies, that considering green wireless cellular networks, have taken the energy consumption of the base station (BS) into consideration. In this work, we first introduce an energy consumption model of multi-mode sharing BS powered by multiple energy sources including renewable energy, local storage and power grid. Then communication load requests of the BS are transformed to energy demand queues, and battery energy level and worst-case delay constraints are considered into the virtual queue to ensure the network QoS when our objective is to minimize the long term electricity cost of BSs. Lyapunov optimization method is applied to work out the optimization objective without knowing the future information of the communication load, real-time electricity market price and renewable energy availability. Finally, linear programming is used, and the corresponding energy efficient scheduling policy is obtained. The performance analysis of our proposed online algorithm based on real-world traces demonstrates that it can greatly reduce one day's electricity cost of individual BS.
