| Abstract: | Underground infrastructure networks form the backbone of vital supply and disposal systems. However, they are under-monitored in comparison to their value. This is due, in large part, to the lack of energy supply for monitoring and data transmission. In this paper, we investigate a novel, energy harvesting system used to power underground sewer infrastructure monitoring networks. The system collects the required energy from ambient sources, such as temperature differences or residual light in sewer networks. A prototype was developed that could use either a thermoelectric generator (TEG) or a solar cell to capture the energy needed to acquire and transmit ultrasonic water level data via LoRaWAN. Real-world field trials were satisfactory and showed the potential power output, as well as, possibilities to improve the system. Using an extrapolation model, we proved that the developed solution could work reliably throughout the year. |
