College of Engineering, Wasit University discussed a master dissertation on designing and implementing of an energy harvesting system for self-operating IoT devices by postgraduate student, Ms. Zainab Kamal Mahdi.
The dissertation aimed at demonstrating that the system faces traditional systems that require periodic maintenance or battery replacement, especially in remote areas where maintenance is expensive and impractical.
The dissertation demonstrated that the system converts mechanical vibrations into electrical energy used to operate sensors that monitor variables such as temperature and vibration, allowing for real-time fault detection using advanced analytical techniques such as fuzzy logic algorithms.
The dissertation reviewed that the system uses remote communication units using technologies such as GSM and GPS to transfer data instantly to operators to improve the efficiency of system monitoring and rapid response.
The dissertation concluded that the system’s efficiency in collecting energy and achieving stable performance under changing environmental conditions makes vibration energy harvesting a sustainable and practical solution for operating self-operating IoT devices.
