Entropy generation metric for evaluating and forecasting aircraft energy management systems
A general Entropy Generation Minimisation (EGM) technique is applied to analyse the feasibility of energy recovery from aircraft avionics via thermoelectric (TE) devices. In employing this approach, a suitable control volume definition is chosen to evaluate the impact of an energy recovery system on the overall entropy generation of the aircraft over a mission. Only those systems which are ...

Energy harvesting from suspension systems using regenerative force actuators
In this paper, harvesting vibration energy from suspension is investigated. Theoretical values for the harvested energy are calculated. Experimental evaluation of the energy is performed using vehicle road simulation facilities. An excitation signal in the frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 20 Hz is applied to the vehicle and the harvested power is calculated. Experimental results give a maximum ...

Energy harvesting and current state of the technology with application to traffic monitoring
Wireless systems capable of being truly 'autonomous' present the future of wireless networks and applications. Such systems have an intrinsic advantage over systems dependent on a finite power source. Harvesting energy from a device's environment has been proposed as a solution to the difficulty of providing a 'wireless' power source. The underlying theory and operating principles of ...

Eco-Brella: prototype development of the umbrella as harvester of solar and wind energies
The familiar umbrella has been redesigned for power harvesting from renewable energy sources resulting in the Eco-Brella . Several engineering technologies are utilised: aerodynamics for fin design, mechatronics for power management, materials for thermoelectric and solar film, CAD for the layout, and heat transfer for human comfort. The result is a sustainable design capable of harvesting ...
