Abstract: | [eng] The thesis reflects the research carried out on the development of truly self-powered devices. The development of devices for the scopes of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Point-of-Care devices (PoC) is shown. New solutions are implemented in the field of energy harvesting to use a single transducer as sensor element and power supply for the system. In this research, the transducers used are piezoelectric generators and galvanic cells, being extrapolated the developments made to other types of transducers or generators. [spa] La tesis recoge la investigación realizada sobre el desarrollo de dispositivos verdaderamente auto- alimentados. Se muestra el desarrollo de dispositivos para el ámbito de la monitorización de la salud de estructuras (SHM) y el ámbito de los dispositivos Point-of-Care (PoC). Para ello, se implementan nuevas soluciones del ámbito de la recolección de energía para utilizar un único transductor como elemento sensor y de fuente de alimentación para el sistema. En esta investigación, los transductores utilizados son generadores piezoeléctricos y celdas galvánicas, siendo extrapolables los desarrollos realizados a otro tipos de transductores o generadores. |
