“…A suitable generator can convert the shock energy of various naturally occurring mechanical vibrations into electrical energy. In [ 19 ], the authors attempted to analyze the combination of RFID tags and a piezoelectric generator due to the need for periodic battery replacement. The authors elaborate on possible applications of piezoelectric generators in active RFID tags.…”

“…The authors elaborate on possible applications of piezoelectric generators in active RFID tags. As examples of applications of RFID tags with piezoelectric generators, they proposed, for example, a security system to monitor children going to and returning from school and a network system to monitor the use of a conference room [ 19 ]. A microvibrating MEMS system may also find its application [ 20 ].…”

This paper presents an innovative approach to the integration of thermoelectric microgenerators (μTEGs) based on thick-film thermopiles of planar constantan–silver (CuNi-Ag) and calcium cobaltite oxide–silver (Ca3Co4O9-Ag) thick-film thermopiles with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The goal was to consider using the TEG for an active or semi-passive RFID tag. The proposed implementation would allow the communication distance to be increased or even operated without changing batteries. This article discusses the principles of planar thermoelectric microgenerators (μTEGs), focusing on their ability to convert the temperature difference into electrical energy. The concept of integration with active or semi-passive tags is presented, as well as the results of energy efficiency tests, considering various environmental conditions. On the basis of the measurements, the parameters of thermopiles consisting of more thermocouples were simulated to provide the required voltage and power for cooperation with RFID tags. The conclusions of the research indicate promising prospects for the integration of planar thermoelectric microgenerators with RFID technology, opening the way to more sustainable and efficient monitoring and identification systems. Our work provides the theoretical basis and practical experimental data for the further development and implementation of this innovative technology.

“…Recently, energy harvesting for energy conversion between electrical energy and mechanical energy in piezoelectric ceramics has been focused on to obtain clean energy. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] It has various practical uses, such as a floor for electrical generation (''electricity-generating floor'') at ticket gates in the Tokyo terminal of Japan Railway East Company (JR-East) [15][16][17][18][19][20] and LED light illumination for the Metropolitan Expressway generating electricity through the deformation of bridge piers passing through automobiles. 21) We developed new piezoelectric energy-harvesting devices utilizing the resonance vibration of piezoelectric ceramics.…”

A piezoelectric buzzer for energy harvesting was investigated. Although an external force was added to a buzzer, a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) unimorph in the buzzer, the ceramic disc diameter, thickness, and capacitance of which were respectively 14 mm, 0.2 mm, and 10 nF, generated resonance vibration. As a result, alternating voltages of around 30 V and a frequency of 5 kHz were observed. When the generated voltages were applied to a LED lamp, new devices such as a “night-view footwear” and a “piezo-walker” were developed. It was confirmed that the piezo-buzzer for energy harvesting utilizing resonance vibration is an effective tool for obtaining clean energy.

This thesis finds the feasibility of using Radio-Frequency Identity tags for current Autonomous Vehicle (AV) limitations such as camera occlusions, traffic-sign tempering, and spotty GPS signals interrupting localization. Experiments were conducted with an AV on a test track up to 90 km/h with Active and Passive Tags in various propagation mediums such as Ice and Snow. Higher speeds could not be tried due to track constraints. One study however was able to read the Passive tags up to 200 km/h. The study finds how to increase the coverage area and read range of the tags. The Active tags performed better than their Passive counterparts, however at the expense of high cost and battery replacement.Mass production and Piezoelectric technology may be able to help with it, respectively. The study found that the technology in its current form is suitable for controlled environments only. However, if more Passive antennas and readers are experimented with, and more equipment is developed while keeping AV use-case in mind, it can show promise against the current AV limitations.
