Using of Piezo-material for Energy Harvesting from Vibration
Hanus, Jiří ; Dušek, Daniel (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
Master’s Thesis deals with obtaining electricity from the vibrations of the surrounding environment through piezoelectric vibration generator. To simulation piezoceramics and design mechanical parts of the generator was used simulation program ANSYS 10.0. First, parameters of the designed piezoelectric generator were numerically calculated, and then these values were compared with the real sample. Further work is in the description of material properties of piezo materials.

Mechatronic Proposal of Electromagnetic Vibration Power Generator
Jurosz, Pavel ; Houška, Pavel (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis deals with modifications to the construction of vibration-to-electricity energy converter, which is one of possible solutions to problem of sustainable and stable energy source for wireless sensor supply. Upon the exploration of the present state of this problem, new construction of generator is proposed. The aim of this proposal is to enhance the existing generator properties with respect to retention of its dimensions and its weight. Results obtained by simulations of model with proposed parameters are presented and analysed.

The energy independent flow meter with remote reading
Šindelář, Jindřich ; Růžek, Václav (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the design of a self-powered sensor for measurement of water flow rate and temperature in water pipelines. The key block of this thesis is the construction of an electric generator powered by excitation with turbulent flow. The generated voltage should power the sensor's circuits and allow water flow rate measurements. Throughout the development, three prototypes of generators powered by turbulent flow were created. Turbulences were not created by an insertion of a bluff body but by inner geometry of the pipeline elements. Maximum power of 10,66 uW was generated at flow rate of 8 m3/h. Afterwards, a prototype of water flow rate and temperature sensor was assembled. Energy self-sufficiency of the device at common flow rates was not achieved using the chosen procedure. The designed flow rate measurement method is suitable for an approximate flow rate estimation.

Energy Self-sufficient Wireless Module for Sensoric Applications
Jacko, Róbert ; Botta, Miroslav (referee) ; Šimek, Milan (advisor)
Masters thesis deals with design and practical implementation of wireless sensor module. The primary requirement for this module is its energy self-sufficiency. In this context, the work gets to the subject of "energy harvesting". Then, in terms of energy requirements, several wireless communication platforms which are favorable for the selected application, are compared. From mentioned technologies was chosen communication platform IQRF. The next parts deals with initial prototype of sensor module, which will be demonstrated as the application of measuring wind direction. This paper describes the hardware and software solution. Followed by a detailed analysis of its properties in terms of energy requirements. Based on the obtained measurements resource parameters are set.

The system of load matching to the energy converter
Halama, Petr ; Mandlík, Michal (referee) ; Drexler, Petr (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with energy harvesting from the mechanical energy sources. The mechanical energy may be converted into the electrical by means of a vibrational microgenerator. The thesis deals also with the production of energy from different renewable sources. There have been identified conditions for effective transformation of the remaining energy. In order to satisfy these conditions a circuit for load matching to energy harvester has to be used. Four variants of matching circuit have been designed and analyzed in PSpice or LTspice. It has been designed a system of power factor correction controlled by circuit with discrete components and also by microcontroller. For one of these variants a specific integrated circuit has been used. The designed circuits have been built and their parameters haven been determined by measurement.
