  • Abstract
    This paper discusses energy harvesting techniques suitable for use with wireless remote condition monitoring, especially in the context of fixed asset monitoring. Different commercially available off-the-shelf technologies for energy harvesting are discussed, together with power management technologies and a discussion on system operation. The potential benefits of retrofitting energy harvesting to a battery powered wireless remote condition monitoring system is also presented.
