Smart sensing, devices, and monitoring are essential to localized motor condition monitoring and service applications. A unique approach to the smart device is the use of low-cost wireless sensors for machine condition measurement. Smartphones may be used as the computational platform that acquires motor parameters from wireless sensors using a compatible local communication. Considering the widespread...
In condition monitoring of electrical machines, wireless sensors enables access to internal signals that are relatively unexplored compared to the conventional external measurements. This paper demonstrates the application of wireless sensor to measure the rotor field winding current in a Brushless Synchronous Generator and compare the fault detection capability with the stator exciter field current...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming important in many areas that include health, entertainment, manufacturing, automotive, home and building automation, industrial, etc. Will it be important for education and more specifically for teaching and learning? If so, what engineering subjects would benefit the most and how effective could the IoT be for teaching and learning? Can IoT technologies and...
With the advancement in energy harvesting in terms of wireless charging techniques, it provides a novel way to solve traditional energy constraint problems in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Renewable energy such as solar, wind, and geo-thermal energy is converted to energy-storage and further use via harvest-then-transmit strategy. This article introduces a two-layer sleep scheduling system in energy-harvesting...
The application of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems is primarily limited by its energy transfer efficiency. For modern WPT that utilises Strongly Coupled Magnetic Resonances (SCMR), which transfers energy by using the mutual inductance between coils, a higher efficiency can be achieved compared with a conventional air-core transformer module. An SCMR normally works at a desired frequency which...
Emerging technologies in communication (5G) and its use in new industrial automation approaches (smart manufacturing) require more than today precise specifications of dependability requirements and assurance at the interface between application and communication. The growing role of dependability assessment for wireless automation is addressed. First an overview is given over general definitions...
Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the traditional Internet where only human-centric services were offered. It has enabled objects to have the ability to connect and communicate through the Internet. IoT has several applications such as smart water management systems. However, they require high energy-efficient sensor nodes that are able to communicate across long distance. This motivates...
There are increasing preferences to employ wireless communication technologies for high mobility, high scalability and low-cost applications in smart city development. This paper gives a brief synopsis of typical wireless technologies in smart city applications and the comparison analysis between them. The trend for smart city wireless technology is also presented. Examples, for several key applications...
In sensor-based activity recognition often huge amounts of data have to be acquired from multiple sensors, which need to be communicated for further processing. When using wireless sensor nodes, energy efficiency is of outstanding importance, since it directly influences the time until the battery needs to be recharged. However, communicating a huge amount of sensor data over wireless interfaces causes...
