“…According to a review of the literature, the conversion mechanisms for acquiring vibration energy from passing trains include electromagnetic, piezoelectric, triboelectric, and hydraulic types. Regardless of line side or vehicle side, electromagnetic energy conversion mechanisms are one of the most popular technologies for vibration energy harvesting in railway systems (Perez et al, 2018;Ung et al, 2015;Kim, 2020). The electromagnetic VEH strategy has the advantages of high energy harvesting efficiency, strong controllability, quick response, and easy compactness (Montazeri-Gh and Kavianipour, 2012).…”

“…In addition to harvesting vibration energy from the line side, on-board VEH technology is also attractive for powering vehicle-mounted monitoring sensors (Bradai et al, 2018;Brignole et al, 2016). Perez et al have presented an innovative electromagnetic vibration energy harvester with two degrees of freedom installed on the tram (Perez et al, 2020). As shown in Figure 8, the structure of the VEH is very simple, including only permanent magnet and coils.…”

“…On the other hand, the linear type VEHs employing highefficiency transducers have been used both in academia [22], [23], [24], [25], [26] and in the industry [8], [27] as a robust and reliable solution to the powering issue of wireless sensor platforms. This class of VEH offers large deliverable power at resonance, at the cost of considerably low bandwidth of operable frequencies.…”

The explosive growth of wireless sensor platforms and their emerging wide range of application areas make the development of a sustainable and robust power source, an essential requirement to enable widespread deployment of these wireless devices. As a solution to this cardinal issue, this article reports the design and fabrication of a resonant vibration energy harvester (VEH) that comprises interleaved springs, manifesting a concertina-shaped structure that can enable large mechanical amplitudes of oscillation. Within a relatively small footprint (9 cm 3 ), this concertina-VEH yields a large power density of 455.6 µW/cm 3 g 2 while operating at a resonant frequency of 75 Hz. Additionally, the feasibility of the implemented VEH to support near field communication (NFC)-based wireless sensor platform, that is yet uncharted, is also investigated in this work. A very low-power consumption NFC wireless sensor node has been designed and developed for this purpose. The developed concertina VEH has been employed to power the electronics interface of this NFC sensor. Using mechanical energy derived from as low as 0.2-g excitation, our study shows that the VEH can enhance the electromagnetic interaction between the transmitting antenna and the reader, resulting in a 120% increase in wireless communication range for the NFC sensor node. Such a high-performance energy harvester-assisted NFC sensor node has the potential to be used in a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms as a reliable and sustainable power solution.
