The current technological trends associated with Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) require an interconnected network of sensor nodes providing distributed information on the environment to enable intelligent action to be taken by control systems. Such sensors need to be wireless, self-powered and energy independent. In this work we provide an overview of possible strategies to realize a positive energy balance in autonomous sensor nodes without the use of batteries. We will first overview different sensors in terms of power consumption. We will then concentrate on energy harvesting and storage, showing state-of-the-art possibilities in both cases.

Abstract Perspectives of development of control system dedicated for areas threatened by methane and/or coal dust explosion hazard are presented. Development of self-powered sensors, dedicated for operation in wireless network is one of the development directions. Such a solution will complement typical control systems and it can be used in the places, where there is no possibility of using the typical sensors, in close vicinity to the machine – due to lack of wired connection. General concept of the self-powered sensors with use of two methods of power supply – piezoelectric energy harvester and thermoelectric generator, is given. Perspective of using the methods of artificial intelligence in automatic configuration of sensors network is suggested.
