Summary

The objective of this teaching module is to appropriate new and innovative technologies for powering Connected Objects. Brief program: 1. Physics of energy conversion: - Thermodynamics: notion of thermal machine, efficiency, Carnot efficiency, first and second principles, heat transfers (conductive, conducto-convective, radiative), Fourier's law, analogy between thermal and electricity, notion of coupled dissipative transfers (Onsager relations) - Mechanics: notions of elasticity, displacement, deformation, Hooke's law (useful for the Piezo) 2. Issues and applications: Photovoltaic energy, vibrational and piezoelectric energy, thermoelectricity, rectification and energy storage 3. Practical aspects: The proposed development kit uses different energy recovery modalities (mechanical, push button), solar (photovoltaic). Radio transmission modules and a programming interface are also available. The student will have to realize a chain of recovery, sensor/measurement, transmission.

Educational goals

Objectives (in terms of know-how): - To know the concepts of thermodynamics, semiconductor physics, and mechanics useful for the study of energy conversion systems. - To know the typical orders of magnitude of the recoverable powers (and densities) for various energy sources. (Photovoltaic, Thermoelectric, Piezoelectric in particular). - To know for these different sources what are the materials, technologies and constraints in terms of size, efficiency and availability - Take in hand a development kit for connected objects, use the various energy sources, report on experimental work Acquired skills (direct/indirect): - Use the concepts of efficiency and coupled transports to describe different energy conversion mechanisms within the same theoretical framework. - To be able to compare the efficiency and the functioning of these mechanisms. - To be able to compare, with respect to a given use case, the potential of different energy sources. - To be able to understand the state of the art research of micro sources of energy recovery - Implement existing components to create an energy autonomous object.
