Abstract

On the market of energy harvesting devices, there are more and more solutions, what means strong development of this relatively new part of industry. In the case of underground mining industry, it is not possible to use the typical solutions and they must be properly adopted. Part of the project results associated with a development of wireless, self-supplying sensor networks for operation in underground mines are given. The results of the measurement of voltage generated by piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) for of free mounting and installation in the housing, limiting its deflection, are given. Tests were conducted in the laboratory conditions, using a vibrating table. The measurement results indicate a significant reduction of energy generated by PEH when it is installed in the casing, confining its movement. Simulated operation of wireless sensor powered by PEH in a casing and without casing is also presented.
