In order to solve the limited life problem of typical battery power supply, a self-powered method that is based on the environmental energy harvesting has emerged as an amazing power supply approach. The Tribo-electric-Nano-generator (TENG) has been...
Condition monitoring devices in hydraulic systems that use batteries or require wired infrastructure have drawbacks that affect their installation, maintenance costs, and deployment flexibility. Energy harvesting technologies can serve as an alternat...
Direct interface circuits (DICs) connect resistive, capacitive, and inductive sensors directly to microcontrollers or FPGAs, eliminating analog conditioning stages and offering compact, low-cost, and low-power instrumentation. This systematic review...
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as efficient mechanical-energy harvesters with advantages—simple architectures, broad material compatibility, low cost, and strong environmental tolerance—positioning them as key enablers...
This paper presents a comprehensive summary of recent advances in circuit topologies for piezoelectric energy harvesting, leading to self-powered systems (SPSs), covering the full-bridge rectifier (FBR) and half-bridge rectifier (HBR), AC-DC converte...
The preparation of ultra-thin semi-transparent solar cells with potential applications in windows or transparent roofs entails several challenges due to the very small thickness of the layers involved. In particular, problems related to undesired int...
This article presents a control strategy that enables both islanded and grid-tied operations of a three-phase inverter in distributed generation. This distributed generation (DG) is based on a dramatically evolved direct current (DC) source. A unifie...
This study proposes a non-contact engine speed measurement system using vehicle electrical characterization to address the limitations of traditional contact-type methods and optical methods. The developed system collects coupled AC signals through a...
Devices connected to microgrids require safe conditions during their connection, disconnection and operation. The required safety is achieved through the design and control of the converters that interface elements with the microgrid. Therefore, the...
This paper presents a novel approach to convert a conventional house air conditioning installation into a more efficient system that individually controls the temperature of each zone of the house through Wi-Fi technology. Each zone regulates the air...
This paper presents a multiscale monitoring and management framework designed to enhance energy and indoor environmental performance in retrofitted public schools. The proposed system comprises three layers: (i) a cost-effective sensor network deploy...
Nanogenerators, based on piezoelectric or triboelectric materials, have emerged in the recent years as an attractive cost-effective technology for harvesting energy from renewable and clean energy sources, but also for human sensing and biomedical we...
As a critical technological foundation for electric vehicles, power battery state estimation primarily involves estimating the State of Charge (SOC), the State of Health (SOH) and the Remaining Useful Life (RUL). This paper systematically categorizes...
