- W2054222477 abstract "Seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water and all living things are dependent upon this resource. Assuch there are many applications for monitoring environmental data in and around aquatic environments. Wireless sensornetworks are poised to revolutionise this process as the reduction in size and power consumption of electronics areopening up many new possibilities for these networks. Aquatic sensor nodes are usually battery powered, so as sensornetworks increase in number and size, replacement of depleted batteries becomes time consuming, wasteful and in somecases unfeasible. Additionally, a battery that is large enough to last the life of a sensor node would dominate the overallsize of the node, and thus would not be very attractive or practical. As a result, there is a clear need to explore novelalternatives to power sensor nodes/networks, as existing battery technology hinders the widespread deployment of thesenetworks. By harvesting energy from their local environment, sensor networks can achieve much greater run-times, yearsnot months, with potentially lower cost and weight. A potential renewable energy source in aquatic environments existsvia the temperature gradient present between the water layer and ambient air. A body of water will be either a fewdegrees warmer or colder than the air directly above it dependant on its latitude, time of year and time of day. Byincorporating a thermal energy harvesting device into the sensor node deployment which promotes the flow of heatenergy across the thermal gradient, a portion of the energy flow can be converted into useable power for the sensor node.To further increase this temperature difference during the day the top section can be heated to temperatures above theambient air temperature by absorbing the incoming sunlight. As an initial exploration into the potential of this novelpower source we have developed a model of the process. By inputting environmental data, the model calculates thepower which can be extracted by a thermal energy harvesting device. Initial outputs show a possibility of up to 10W/m2of power available from measured sites assuming a thermal energy harvester operating with Carnot efficiency." @default.
