This paper presents a wireless sensor system (WSS) that integrates an inductive wireless power transfer (I-WPT) module for battery-free real-time monitoring of the status of rotating shaft in ships. An optimized I-WPT module with multiple Tx and Rx coils was implemented, achieving a power capability of 1.75 W with an efficiency of 75%. The designed WSS, which integrates four sensors, was demonstrated on a small-scale test bench system, showing the real-time monitoring of the propulsion shaft without a battery.
In this paper, we present a wireless sensor system (WSS) that integrated an inductive wireless power transfer (I-WPT) module for battery-free real-time monitoring of the status of rotating shaft in ships. Firstly, an optimized I-WPT module for seamless power supply was implemented using multiple Tx and Rx coils, and its power capability of 1.75 W with an efficiency of 75% was achieved. Secondly, as a result of the high-power transfer performance of the implemented I-WPT module, an entire WSS that integrated four sensors was designed on the rotary shaft. Finally, the designed WSS was installed on a small-scale test bench system with a shaft diameter of 200 mm; it was demonstrated that the status of a propulsion shaft could be monitored in real time without a battery.
