Abstract

Body
Area Networks has taken its place in today's scientific world as a fundamental
part of the issues of remote health monitoring and Internet of Things. The
signals measured by the sensor nodes in or around the body are transmited the
information about the health of the individual to the experts in remote. Body
Area Networks have problems similar to other types of networks, and energy
consumption is one of the main problems. Body Area Networks generally involve
wireless communication and require the energy units (batteries, acumulator, and
etc.) to measure of nodes while the person is on the move. For this reason, it
is not possible to change the energy unit at any time. In order to eliminate
the energy problem of the Body Area Network, the energy harvesting unit is
developed in this study. This unit consisting of piezoelectric material and
peltier meets the energy needs of the Body Area Network.

Vücut Alan Ağları için Enerji Hasadı Ünitesi Tasarımı

Abstract

Vücut Alan Ağları, uzaktan
sağlık izleme ve nesnelerin interneti konularının temel bir parçası olarak
günümüz bilim dünyasında yerini almıştır. Vücut üzerinde, çevresinde ya da
içinde yeralabilen algılayıcı düğümlerin ölçtüğü sinyaller bu ağa sahip bireylerin
sağlığı hakkında bilgileri aktarmaktadır. Vücut Alan Ağları’nın diğer ağ
tiplerine benzer problemleri bulunmaktadır ve bu problemlerin başında enerji
tüketimi gelmektedir. Vücut Alan Ağları genellikle kablosuz iletişim yapmakta ve
kişinin hareket halindeyken de düğümlerin ölçüm yapması için enerji birimlerine
(pil, akü vb.) ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Bu sebeple enerji ünitesinin her zaman
değiştirilebilmesi mümkün olmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Vücut Alan Ağı’nın enerji
problemini ortadan kaldırmak için enerji hasadı ünitesi geliştirilmiştir.
Piezoelektrik malzeme ve peltierden oluşan bu ünite Vücut Alan Ağı’nın enerji
ihtiyacını karşılamaktadır.
