Title
Opportunities and challenges for energy harvesting sensor systems for harsh environments.
Abstract
Wireless sensing systems for harsh environments, especially at high temperatures, are of great interest to many industries. Wireless sensing systems consist of sensors, electronic interfaces and processors, energy harvesters, and wireless transmission modules. Real-time data collection from sensors, combined with data analytics, can improve safety and performance, and reduce operational and maintenance cost in harsh environments. Even though some sensors are available for harsh environments, it is still impossible to measure the real-time data wirelessly due to the lack of high temperature electronics and energy storage for the selected sensors. Typically, data is transferred with cables to cooler regions, where an external electronic box is set up. Due to complex wiring connections, reliability is poor, the sensor locations are restricted and the cost and weight of the sensing system is increased. In this paper, the limits of wireless sensing systems for high temperature applications are discussed and the opportunities for future research are outlined.
