Review of contemporary energy harvesting techniques and their feasibility in wireless geophones

Naveed Iqbal et al.

Summary: Energy harvesting converts ambient energy into electrical energy, offering opportunities for realizing wireless sensors. Seismic exploration can benefit significantly from this technology as energy harvesting equipped geophones can reduce the costs and weight associated with cables. However, due to the random and intermittent nature of harvested energy, geophones must be designed to tap into multiple energy sources for stable operation. Extensive research has been conducted on energy harvesting from various sources, but its application in the seismic context has not been thoroughly investigated. This survey provides a comprehensive literature review on energy harvesting methods suitable for direct adaptation in geophones, focusing on small form factor circuits and systems capable of harvesting energy from wind, sun, vibrations, temperature difference, and radio frequencies. Case studies are presented to assess the suitability of these methods, and a design for an energy harvesting equipped geophone is proposed.
