【 摘 要 】

Energy harvesters convert waste power (heat, light and vibration) directly to electric power. Fast progress in their technology, design and areas of application (e.g. "Internet of Things") has been observed recently. Their effectiveness is steadily growing which makes their application to powering sensor networks with wireless data transfer reasonable. The main advantage is the independence from wired power sources, which is especially important for monitoring state of environmental parameters. In this paper we describe the design and realization of a gas sensor monitoring CO level (powered by TEG) and two, designed an constructed in ITE, autonomous power supply modules powered by modern photovoltaic cells.
