| dc.description.abstract | This paper highlights the importance of energy
harvesting in high-value asset monitoring applications involving
use of active RFID tags. The paper begins by highlighting
advantages of active tags including improved range and read rate
in electromagnetically unfriendly environments. Although a
battery can substantially improve performance, it limits
maintenance-free operational life. Therefore, harvesting energy
from sources such as vibration is shown to address this
shortcoming but these sources must be adequate, available
throughout the life of the application, and highly efficient.
Piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting design procedures and
components for such systems are identified. This includes three
key components namely, the energy harvesting transducer, power
management circuit, and energy storage device. Each component
of the energy harvesting system is described and important design
criteria are highlighted. Finally, the paper concludes by analyzing
vibration data from high value assets used during disaster relief,
and describing preliminary results of an energy harvesting
prototype with details on system form factors, efficiency, and life. | en_US |
