Development of remote, self-powered temperature and pressure monitoring system for harsh environment motorsport, automotive and aerospace applications (SELFP)

该项目将开发和评估基于MEMS的振动能量收集设备，用于航空航天，赛车运动和汽车应用中的高温传感。MEMS设备将被设计为从现场经历的振动中收集能量，目的是取代电力和传输电缆和电池，为分布式微型传感器调节和处理模块在150 ℃及以上的温度下供电。振动能量收集和高温电子设备的结合将为监测结构和组件的健康状况开辟新的领域，节省电缆重量和成本，并使部署和维护变得容易。通过将偏远地区的传感和控制电子设备与现场发电设备共同使用，将提高传感的准确性。

This project will develop and evaluate MEMS based vibration energy harvesting devices for high temperaturesensing in aerospace, motorsport and automotive applications. The MEMS devices will be designed to scavengeenergy from vibrations experienced in–situ with the aim of replacing power and transmission cables andbatteries for powering of distributed miniature sensor conditioning and processing modules at temperatures of150oC and above. The combination of vibration energy harvesting and high temperature electronics will openup new areas for monitoring of the health of the structures and components, saving weight in cables and costsand enabling ease of deployment and maintenance. The accuracy of sensing will be improved through the colocationof the sensing and control electronics in remote areas with in-situ power generation.
