Mechanical vibrations occur in the operation of most technical systems. High-level vibrations could indicate an overloaded or damaged technical system. These states and behaviours can be monitored or reported, and ambient vibrations may, in turn, be used as a source of energy. The vibrational energy harvesters used in this framework could be an alternative to the supply of low-power autonomous electronic systems for the remote sensing of operations. However, the level of energy harvested using such an approach is usually very low, and the whole concept of vibration energy harvesting system operations (including power management electronics and wireless sensors) must be adapted for specific target applications.
