Rüzgâr Temelli Piezoelektrik Enerji Hasat Sisteminin Askeri Saha Uygulamalarına Adaptasyonu: Kablosuz Sensör Sistemleri, KBRN İzleme ve İHA Enerji Desteği İçin Senaryo Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, helis dikey eksen türbin yapısı üzerine yerleştirilmiş 30 adet PVDF film dönüştürücü kullanan rüzgâr temelli piezoelektrik enerji hasat sistemi 36 m/s hızında 408,79 µW maksimum güç ürettiği deneysel olarak gösterilmiştir. Sistem; akustik/sismik sensörler, KBRN dedektörleri ve akıllı engel sistemleri ile doğrudan güç uyumu sağlayarak pil ikmal gereksinimini ortadan kaldırmaktadır. PVDF malzemesinin kimyasal direnci, personel erişiminin imkânsız olduğu kontamine ortamlarda kesintisiz çalışmayı mümkün kılmaktadır. Süperkondansatör entegrasyonuyla operasyonel ömür pil tabanlı sistemlere kıyasla 4–6 kat uzamakta; bu durum sistemin ikmal bağımsız ve ölçeklenebilir askeri sensör platformu güç çözümü olarak potansiyelini ortaya koymaktadır.

Wind-Based Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting System Adaptation for Military Field Applications: Scenario Analysis for Wireless Sensor Systems, CBRN Monitoring, and UAV Energy Support

Abstract

Piezoelectric energy harvesting, which enables the direct conversion of ambient mechanical energy into electricity, has become increasingly significant for low-power autonomous systems in recent years. In this study, the applicability of a wind-based piezoelectric energy harvesting system that was previously designed and experimentally validated to military field conditions was comprehensively investigated for the first time. The system achieves a maximum output power of 408.79 µW at 36 m/s wind speed and is evaluated against power-requirement analyses across four defense scenarios: autonomous acoustic/seismic field sensor supply, wireless CBRN detector power source, smart obstacle/passive mine systems, and tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) energy support. The chemical resistance of PVDF (Poliviniliden Florür) material, the low visual and radar signature of the helical vertical-axis turbine, and its wind-direction-independent operation are examined from a defense perspective. Results demonstrate that the system has the potential to eliminate battery resupply requirements, enabling logistics-independent and long-duration monitoring capability in military fields
