Projeto robusto e análise de incertezas em dispositivos ressonantes para coleta de energia / Robust design and uncertainty analysis in resonant energy harvesting devices

Paulo Henrique Martins 22 February 2018 (has links)
O estudo das vibrações é importante para prevenir danos em equipamentos ou mesmo evitar catástrofes de grande natureza. Nesse sentido, aproveitar a energia que seria dissipada na vibração e contribuir no controle do sistema representa um grande avanço tecnológico. O termo Energy Harvesting (Colheita de Energia) está relacionado ao contexto do aproveitamento energético, utilizando sistema de conversão para transformação da energia em eletricidade. Através de um dispositivo com viga engastada e massa inercial na extremidade, é possível realizar o estudo de vibração e coleta de energia, ao se considerar uma estrutura piezelétrica acoplada na viga e conectada a um circuito elétrico com resistor. Estruturas inteligentes que atuam na conversão de energia mecânica em elétrica, ou vice-versa, são fundamentais para esse estudo, o que motiva a inclusão dos sensores piezelétricos no projeto de dispositivos estudados e sujeitos a vibrações. Por outro lado, otimizar parâmetros de projeto é fundamental para aumentar a amplitude de vibração e tornar o processo com maior desempenho, tendo em vista maior captação de energia. Ainda, parâmetros otimizados podem estar sujeitos a incertezas do projeto e variações, devido a flutuações ambientais, como temperatura, pressão, propriedades dos materiais, geometria, etc. Por isso, técnicas robustas que tornem os projetos menos sensíveis a variações são interessantes para serem abordadas. Embora métodos de projetos robustos sejam eficientes, poucas pesquisas têm sido feitas na área da dinâmica de vibrações e alguns processos podem demandar tempo computacional dependendo do estudo ou projeto. Este trabalho tem como propósito abordar um método específico de projeto robusto focado em uma metodologia com matrizes chamadas ortogonais. Além disso, o método determinístico via algoritmo de Programação Sequencial Quadrático (SQP) é utilizado. O trabalho consiste numa abordagem para coleta de energia em um modelo de viga engastada, otimizando parâmetros e inserindo incertezas no sistema para análise de robustez e verificação de comprimentos adequados de vigas para os dispositivos. Os resultados mostram um aumento da energia coletada, analisando funções de resposta em frequências para saída de potência, diante de uma entrada de deslocamento no engaste do dispositivo, projetado via otimização determinística, além de aumento de robustez de acordo com certos critérios considerando circuito elétrico com resistência corretamente selecionada. / The study of vibrations is important to prevent damage to equipment or even prevent major catastrophes. In this sense harvesting the energy that would otherwise be dissipated in vibration and contributing to the control of the system represents a great technological advance. The term Energy Harvesting is related to the context of energy use, using a conversion system to transform energy into electricity. Through a device with clamped beam and inertial mass at the end, it is possible to study the vibration and energy harvesting, considering a piezoelectric structure coupled to the beam and connected to a resistance electric circuit. Smart structures that act in the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy, or vice versa, are fundamental for this study, which motivates the inclusion of piezoelectric sensors in the design of studied devices and subject to vibrations. On the other hand, optimizing design parameters is fundamental to increase the amplitude of vibration and increase process performance, in view of greater power uptake. Furthermore, optimized parameters may be subject to design uncertainties and variations due to environmental fluctuations such as temperature, pressure, material properties, geometry, etc. Therefore, robust techniques that make designs less sensitive to variations are interesting to be addressed. Although robust design methods are efficient, few researches have been done in the area of vibration dynamics and some processes may require computational time depending on the study or project. This work aims to address a specific method of robust design focused on a methodology with matrices called orthogonal. In addition, the deterministic method using Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) algorithm is used. The work consists of an approach to harvest energy in a clamped beam model, optimizing parameters and inserting uncertainties in the system for robustness analysis and verification of adequate beam lengths for the devices. The results show an increase in the harvested energy, analyzing frequency response functions for power output, in the face of a displacement input in the device clamp, designed through deterministic optimization,besides increasing robustness according to certain criteria considering electric circuit with correctly selected resistance.

Système distribué actif sans fil basse consommation pour l'amortissement des vibrations

Zielinski, Mateusz 14 October 2015 (has links)
Depuis des siècles nous utilisons des véhicules équipés des systèmes de suspension de vibrations. Ils permettent d'avoir un confort acceptable et ajoutent de la sécurité à la conduite. Les nouveaux systèmes installés dans les véhicules sont des systèmes actifs. Ils peuvent être adaptés selon les exigences en temps réel. Ces types de systèmes sont utilisés pour l'amortissement de vibrations et pour l’isolation vibro-acoustique. Dans la thèse nous présentons une nouvelle approche d'un système adaptatif pour les applications automobiles. Nous faisons l'hypothèse qu’un portage d'un système centralisé en système distribué peut améliorer son efficacité. Nous proposons un réseau de capteurs sans fil pour l’amortissement de vibrations dans les applications automobiles. Un capteur du réseau est capable de mesurer des vibrations, d’amortir des vibrations et de récupérer l’énergie depuis les vibrations en utilisant un seul élément piézoélectrique (la méthode Serial-SSHI). Ensuite nous validons le réseau de capteurs sur une structure mécanique de type plaque. Les mesures sont comparées avec des simulations d’éléments finis. Les résultats des mesures et des simulations confirment le choix des solutions. Le nœud du réseau fournit ses fonctionnalités destinées avec une efficacité acceptable. Nous validons la récupération d’énergie depuis les vibrations et la mesure des vibrations. Ensuite nous validons un effet local d’amortissement de vibrations et un effet global (le réseau de capteurs permet d’avoir une action d’amortissement complémentaire). / For centuries we have used vehicles equipped with the vibration suspension systems. These systems are used to provide comfort and safety. Nowadays we are implementing the active systems which can be adapted according to the real-time requirements. These types of systems are used to damp vibrations and to provide noise and vibration insulation. In the thesis we present a new approach of an adaptive system for automotive applications. We assume that a porting of a centralized system in a distributed system can improve its effectiveness. We offer a wireless sensor network for damping vibration in automotive applications. A network sensor is able to measure the vibrations, damp the vibrations and energy harvesting from vibrations by using a single piezoelectric element (Serial-SSHI method). We validate the network of nodes on a mechanical structure. The measurements are compared with finite element simulations. The results of measurements and simulations confirm the choice of solutions. The network node provides designed functionality with acceptable efficiency. We also validate the energy harvesting and the vibration measurements. The outcome of the work confirm a local effect of vibrations damping and a global effect (the designed Wireless Sensor Network provides a supplementary damping action).

Contribution to modelling of magnetoelectric composites for energy harvesting / Composition à la modélisation des composites magnétoélectriques pour la récupération d'énergie

Yang, Gang 05 December 2016 (has links)
Dans le domaine de l'Internet des Objets (IOT) les matériaux magnétoélectriques composites (MEC) trouvent leurs potentiels utilités dans la récupération d'énergie de microsystèmes autonomes. L'aspect géométrique des matériaux MEC se traduit par l'assemblage de matériaux piézoélectriques et magnétostrictifs sous formes laminaires ou sous formes de mixture par grains. Dans tous les cas ces matériaux possèdent, sous certaines conditions, des coefficients magnétoélectriques qui peuvent fournir des tensions et des puissantes suffisantes pour alimenter des microsystèmes autonomes. Mes travaux de recherche ont porté essentiellement sur une contribution à la modélisation de ces matériaux MEC à l'aide de méthodes analytiques et d'un code numérique basé sur la méthode des éléments finis (MEF) en 2D. Une méthode basée sur la combinaison du tenseur de Maxwell avec le model de Jiles-Atherton modifié a été proposée pour inclure dans la MEF la non-linéarité des couches magnétostrictives. Une étude sur les performances des structures multicouches a été réalisée afin de déterminer la configuration optimale pour les matériaux élaborés à base de couches minces. Une potentielle application dans le domaine biomédical est finalement présentée afin de prouver l'efficience d'un transducteur d'énergie MEC dans ce domaine. Une série de mesures sur un composite bilame est présentée à la fin afin de montrer le plein accord avec la partie modélisation réalisée. / Currently, the "Internet of Everything" (IoE) technologies have attracted significant researchers in the international scientific community. The IoE is based on the idea that identifiable objects are located and controlled via the Internet. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to design embedded systems in millimeter/micrometer scales composed of wireless sensor nodes while overcoming a major drawback of the excessive use of batteries which are limited in lifetime and yield pollutants. The problem calls for the supply of green energy harvesting for wireless sensors. To utilize mechanical vibrations and electromagnetic energy more efficiently, it would be necessary to get simultaneously both energies using materials sensitive to the electromagnetic field and the mechanical vibration such as magnetoelectric materials (ME) that combine the magnetostrictive and piezoelectric effects. Experimental results of ME coefficients from the fabricated ME composites have confirmed the possibility to obtain a few of V/(cm∙Oe) in no-resonant regime and few tens of V/(cm∙Oe) in resonant regime. In case of classical laminate bulk material (Terfenol-D/PZT/Terfenol-D), the delivered powers into optimal impedance are in the order of mW/ cm3. Thus in this context the research work in this thesis focuses on the establishment and assessment of the modelling approaches. The contribution includes analytical numerical methods and a 2D multiphysics finite element method to estimate the performance of the ME materials according to different polarizations and parameters.

An Automatic Simulation System for Solar Panel under Indoor Conditions

Ji, Zhefu January 2017 (has links)
Energy harvesting system is a system which could convert ambient energy into electrical power, its output depends on the energy availability of ambient conditions. For indoor condition, light is a typical available energy, and solar panel could be used to harvest it. To determine the light energy availability of an unknown condition, normally, a lot of measurements is needed, and it will cost a long time. This paper introduced a whole design process of a simulation system, it used modelling method to estimate the energy availability of unknown light condition, and this method is more quickly. A matched measurement system for solar panel and environmental parameters was built firstly. Then, all these environmental parameters were analyzed to find out their influence on solar panel. These parameters, which have relation to the output of the solar panel were thought as influence factors and used for model and classifier building. To get an accurate simulation result, different modeling and classification methods were compared and some suggested methods were picked out. Comparing the simulation result with the real output measurement, the method with minimum error was accepted in the final system. A user interface was built in the end to make this system become more user-friendly. This system could be used to simulate the energy availability of a new condition and analyze the error of simulation results which generated by different methods.

Modeling of Indoor Energy Harvesting System

Qi, Qin, Mengyu, Zhang January 2017 (has links)
Since the wireless sensor network has appeared, it plays an important role in human life. It has the ability to help people automatically sense the real world, where is inaccessible before. Although the applications of wireless sensor networks are increasing nowadays, one of the great issues facing sensor network is the lifetime of a system. Since the system relies on the limited battery, finite lifetime is its biggest challenge. Fortunately, solar energy harvesting for the outdoor environment is promised to address that problem. Compared with that, indoor energy harvesting is still an immature field for most applications, since it is complex to estimate the available energy for indoor lights. To complement the vacancy of indoor energy harvesting field, improve the performance of the traditional estimation model, a new solar cell model is proposed to substitute the traditional solar cell model. The traditional estimation model is used to roughly dimension the indoor system, regardless of the different impact generated by different light sources. The new estimation model, was established under the real indoor environmental conditions. A classification model is created to distinguish the sort of the light sources. The single solar cell of the traditional model is replaced by 5 different solar cell models fitted for each kind of light source. With that, the system has the ability to select the most suitable solar cell model based on the classification result. Moreover, a verification model was built to evaluate both estimation models. The evaluation result shows that the new model has the ability to perform well under changing light condition.

Screen Printed Thermoelectric Devices

Willfahrt, Andreas January 2014 (has links)
Thermoelectric generators (TEG) directly convert heat energy into electrical energy. The impediments as to why this technology has not yet found extensive application are the low conversion efficiency and high costs per watt. On the one hand, the manufacturing process is a cost factor. On the other, the high-­‐priced thermoelectric (TE) materials have an enormous impact on the costs per watt. In this thesis both factors will be examined: the production process and the selection of TE materials. Technical screen printing is a possible way of production, because this method is very versatile with respect to the usable materials, substrates as well as printing inks. The organic conductor PEDOT:PSS offers reasonable thermoelectric properties and can be processed very well in screen printing. It was demonstrated by prototypes of fully printed TEGs that so-­‐called vertical printed TEGs are feasible using standard graphic arts industry processes. In addition, the problems that occur with print production of TEGs are identified. Finally, approaches to solve these problems are discussed.

Energy-aware transceiver for energy harvesting wireless sensor networks / Système de transmission radiofréquence adaptatif en performance et en consommation pour réseaux de capteurs autonomes en énergie

Didioui, Amine 13 October 2014 (has links)
Les progrès technologiques accomplis durant ces dernières décennies dans les domaines des microsystèmes et des radiocommunications nous permettent de réaliser des composants communicants miniaturisés à faible coût afin de constituer des réseaux de capteurs sans fil. Typiquement, chacun de ces composants intègre une ou plusieurs unités de mesures (capteur), une unité de traitement de données, une unité de communication radio et une batterie. De ce fait, un nouveau domaine de recherche s’est créé pour étudier le déploiement de ces réseaux afin d’offrir des solutions de surveillance et de contrôle à distance, notamment dans des environnements complexes ou inaccessibles. Les domaines d’application de ces capteurs sont très variés, allant de la domotique au militaire en passant par le médical et les infrastructures civiles. Souvent, ces applications impliquent des contraintes sévères en terme d’autonomie qui idéalement devrait atteindre plusieurs dizaines d’années. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il est à la fois nécessaire de réduire la consommation énergétique du nœud capteur et de trouver d’autres solutions d’alimentation en énergie pour le nœud. Pour adresser ce deuxième point, la récupération d’énergie à partir de l’environnement (solaire, vibratoire, thermique, etc.) semble représenter une solution idéale pour alimenter un nœud capteur, bien que celui-ci doive s’adapter aux faibles quantités d’énergie récupérées par ces systèmes, ainsi qu’à leurs variations et intermittences. Ces travaux de thèse s’intéressent donc à la problématique de la simulation et de la réduction de la consommation des nœuds de capteurs sans-fil et autonomes en énergie. Dans un premier temps, nous avons développé la plateforme HarvWSNet, un environnement de co-simulation alliant le simulateur de réseaux WSNet et Matlab permettant ainsi la modélisation précise et la simulation hétérogène des protocoles de communication (typiquement à événements discrets) et des systèmes de récupération d’énergie (qui possèdent typiquement un comportement à temps continu). Nous avons démontré que cette plateforme permet de réaliser très rapidement des études de pré-prototypage de scénarios applicatifs de déploiement et ainsi réduire le temps de conception de ces nouvelles technologies. Grâce à la modélisation précise des éléments du système de récupération d’énergie (batterie, supercapacité, etc.) permise par cette plateforme, nous avons étudié et évalué la durée de vie de déploiements à large échelle de réseaux de capteurs alimentés par des systèmes de récupération d’énergie (solaire et éolien). La deuxième contribution de cette thèse concerne l’étude et l’implémentation de stratégies de reconfiguration dans l’interface de communication radio, qui est souvent la principale source de consommation d’énergie d’un capteur, afin de permettre au nœud et/ou au réseau de minimiser sa consommation lorsque le bilan de liaison RF est favorable. A cette fin, nous avons proposé une approche originale grâce au développement d’un simulateur de réseau dédié, EnvAdapt (basé sur WSNet). Dans cette nouvelle plateforme, des modèles de consommation des différents blocs du transceiver radio et des algorithmes de reconfiguration ont été implémentés afin d’étudier l’impact de la reconfiguration des performances de la radio sur la qualité de service et l’autonomie d’un réseau de capteurs. / Technological advances achieved over the past decade in the fields of microsystems and wireless communications have enabled the development of small size and low cost sensor nodes equipped with wireless communication capabilities able to establish a wireless sensor network (WSN). Each sensor node is typically equipped with one or several sensing unit, a data processing unit, a wireless communication interface and a battery. The challenges raised by WSNs has lead to the emergence of a new research domain which focuses on the study and deployment of such a networks in order to offer the required remote monitoring and control solutions for complex and unreachable environment. WSNs have found application in a wide range of different domains, including home and structural health monitoring, military surveillance, and biomedical health monitoring. These applications usually impose stringent constraints on the WSN lifetime which is expected to last several years. To reach this objective, it is necessary to reduce the overall energy consumption of the sensor node and to find an additional source of energy as well. To address the last point, energy harvesting from the environment seems to be a an efficient approach to sustain WSNs operations. However, energy harvesting devices, which must also be small, are usually unable to ensure a continuous operation of sensor nodes. Thus, it is necessary to adapt the WSN consumption and activity to the low and unpredictable energy scavenged. The work presented in this thesis focuses on the issue of simulation and power consumption of autonomous sensor nodes. We have first developed, HarvWSNet, a co-simulation framework combining WSNet and Matlab that provides adequate tools to accurately simulate heterogenous protocols (based on discrete-time events) and energy harvesting systems (based on continuous-time events). We have demonstrated that HarvWSNet allows a rapid evaluation of energy-harvesting WSNs deployment scenarios that may accelerate the time-to-market for these systems. Thanks to the accurate energy models (battery, supercapacitor, etc.) implemented in this platform, we have studied and evaluated a large scale deployment of solar and wind energy-harvesting WSNs. Our second contribution focuses on the implementation of energy-aware reconfiguration strategies in the radio transceiver which is usually considered as the most energy hungry component in a sensor node. These strategies are intended to reduce the excessive power consumption of the radio transceiver when the channel conditions are favorable. To this end, we have a new simulation framework called EnvAdapt (based also on WSNet) dedicated to the evaluation of reconfigurable radio transceivers for WSNs. In EnvAdapt, we have implemented the required radio transceiver behavioral and power consumption models that allows the evaluation of the impact of radio transceiver reconfiguration on the communication performance and lifetime of WSNs.

Development of Zinc Oxide Piezoelectric Nanogenerators for Low Frequency Applications

Satti Nour, Eiman January 2016 (has links)
Energy harvesting using piezoelectric nanomaterials provides an opportunity for advancement towards self-powered systems. Self-powered systems are a new emerging technology, which allows the use of a system or a device that perform a function without the need for external power source like for example, a battery or any other type of source. This technology can for example use harvested energy from sources around us such as ambient mechanical vibrations, noise, and human movement, etc. and convert it to electric energy using the piezoelectric effect. For nanoscale devices, the size of traditional batteries is not suitable and will lead to loss of the concept of “nano”. This is due to the large size and the relatively large magnitude of the delivered power from traditional sources. The development of a nanogenerator (NG) to convert energy from the environment into electric energy would facilitate the development of some self-powered systems relying on nano- devices. The main objective of this thesis is to fabricate a piezoelectric Zinc Oxide (ZnO) NGs for low frequency (˂ 100 Hz) energy harvesting applications. For that, different types of NGs based on ZnO nanostructures have been carefully developed, and studied for testing under different kinds of low frequency mechanical deformations. Well aligned ZnO nanowires (NWs) possessing high piezoelectric coefficient were synthesized on flexible substrates using the low temperature hydrothermal route. These ZnO NWs were then used in different configurations to demonstrate different low frequency energy harvesting devices. Using piezoelectric ZnO NWs, we started with the fabrication of sandwiched NG for hand writing enabled energy harvesting device based on a thin silver layer coated paper substrate. Such device configurations can be used for the development of electronic programmable smart paper. Further, we developed this NG to work as a triggered sensor for wireless system using foot-step pressure. These studies demonstrate the feasibility of using ZnO NWs piezoelectric NG as a low-frequency self-powered sensor, with potential applications in wireless sensor networks. After that, we investigated and fabricated a sensor on PEDOT: PSS plastic substrate either by one side growth technique or by using double sided growth. For the first growth technique, the fabricated NG has been used as a sensor for acceleration system; while the fabricated NG by the second technique has worked as anisotropic directional sensor. This fabricated configurations showed stability for sensing and can be used in surveillance, security, and auto-mobil applications. In addition to that, we investigated the fabrication of a sandwiched NG on plastic substrates. Finally, we demonstrated that doping ZnO NWs with extrinsic element (such as Ag) will lead to the reduction of the piezoelectric effect due to the loss of crystal symmetry. A brief summary into future opportunities and challenges are also presented in the last chapter of this thesis.

Contribution to Research on Underwater Sensor Networks Architectures by Means of Simulation

Climent Bayarri, José Salvador 04 February 2014 (has links)
El concepto de entorno inteligente concibe un mundo donde los diferentes tipos de dispositivos inteligentes colaboran para conseguir un objetivo común. En este concepto, inteligencia hace referencia a la habilidad de adquirir conocimiento y aplicarlo de forma autónoma para conseguir el objetivo común, mientras que entorno hace referencia al mundo físico que nos rodea. Por tanto, un entorno inteligente se puede definir como aquel que adquiere conocimiento de su entorno y aplicándolo permite mejorar la experiencia de sus habitantes. La computación ubicua o generalizada permitirá que este concepto de entorno inteligente se haga realidad. Normalmente, el término de computación ubicua hace referencia al uso de dispositivos distribuidos por el mundo físico, pequeños y de bajo precio, que pueden comunicarse entre ellos y resolver un problema de forma colaborativa. Cuando esta comunicación se lleva a cabo de forma inalámbrica, estos dispositivos forman una red de sensores inalámbrica o en inglés, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Estas redes están atrayendo cada vez más atención debido al amplio espectro de aplicaciones que tienen, des de soluciones para el ámbito militar hasta aplicaciones para el gran consumo. Esta tesis se centra en las redes de sensores inalámbricas y subacuáticas o en inglés, Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSN). Estas redes, a pesar de compartir los mismos principios que las WSN, tienen un medio de transmisión diferente que cambia su forma de comunicación de ondas de radio a ondas acústicas. Este cambio hace que ambas redes sean diferentes en muchos aspectos como el retardo de propagación, el ancho de banda disponible, el consumo de energía, etc. De hecho, las señales acústicas tienen una velocidad de propagación cinco órdenes de magnitud menor que las señales de radio. Por tanto, muchos algoritmos y protocolos necesitan adaptarse o incluso rediseñarse. Como el despliegue de este tipo de redes puede ser bastante complicado y caro, se debe planificar de forma precisa el hardware y los algoritmos que se necesitan. Con esta finalidad, las simulaciones pueden resultar una forma muy conveniente de probar todas las variables necesarias antes del despliegue de la aplicación. A pesar de eso, un nivel de precisión adecuado que permita extraer resultados y conclusiones confiables, solamente se puede conseguir utilizando modelos precisos y parámetros reales. Esta tesis propone un ecosistema para UWSN basado en herramientas libres y de código abierto. Este ecosistema se compone de un modelo de recolección de energía y unmodelo de unmódemde bajo coste y bajo consumo con un sistema de activación remota que, junto con otros modelos ya implementados en las herramientas, permite la realización de simulaciones precisas con datos ambientales del tiempo y de las condiciones marinas del lugar donde la aplicación objeto de estudio va a desplegarse. Seguidamente, este ecosistema se utiliza con éxito en el estudio y evaluación de diferentes protocolos de transmisión aplicados a una aplicación real de monitorización de una piscifactoría en la costa del mar Mediterráneo, que es parte de un proyecto de investigación español (CICYT CTM2011-2961-C02-01). Finalmente, utilizando el modelo de recolección de energía, esta plataforma de simulación se utiliza para medir los requisitos de energía de la aplicación y extraer las necesidades de hardware mínimas. / Climent Bayarri, JS.

Network survival with energy harvesting : secure cooperation and device assisted networking / La pérennité du réseau avec la récupération d’énergie : coopération sécurisée entre terminaux et mise en réseau sécurisée

Conceicao, Filipe 29 November 2019 (has links)
La technologie de réseau cellulaire de 5ème génération (5G) sera le réseau supportant l'Internet des objets (IoT). Elle a introduit une fonctionnalité majeure, communications appareil-à-appareil (D2D), que permettent communications sans fil à consommation d'énergie restreinte en interagissant à proximité et à puissance d'émission plus faible. La coopération entre appareils suscit donc un intérêt considérable pour l'énergie, et peut être utilisé en conjonction avec la récupération d'énergie pour prolonger la durée de vie des appareils. Les programmes de coopération renforcent la mise en réseau d'un appareil à l'autre, ce qui accroît la nécessité d'exécuter des mécanismes de sécurité pour assurer la protection des données et les relations de confiance entre les nœuds du réseau.Ces mécanismes sont fondamentaux pour la protection contre les attaques malveillantes mais elles représentent aussi une importante consommation d'énergie, souvent négligée en raison de l'importance de la protection des données. L'établissement d'un canal securisé peut être coûteux en termes d'utilisation du CPU, la mémoire et la consommation d'énergie, surtout si les appareils sont limités en ressources. La confidentialité et l’intégrité des données ont un faible coût énergétique, mais sont utilisées en permanence. Il est donc nécessaire de quantifier la consommation d'énergie engendrée par la sécurité d'un appareil. Un modèle énergétique basé sur la sécurité est proposé pour répondre à cet objectif.Dans les réseaux composés d'équipements d'utilisateurs (UE), la mobilité est une caractéristique clé. Elle peut agir sur la connexion à proximité d'objets IoT, étendant la couverture 5G vers l'IoT via les UEs. Une solution d'authentification légère est présentée qui permet par l'authentification directe et des communications UE-IoT, d'étendre la couverture et réaliser des économies d'énergie potentielles importantes. Cette approche peut être particulièrement utile en cas de catastrophe où l'infrastructure réseau peut ne pas être disponible.La condentialité et l'authentification des données sont une source de consommation d'énergie importante. Les appareils équipés avec équipements de collecte d'énergie (EH) peuvent avoir un excédent ou un déficit d'énergie. La sécurité appliquée peut donc être ajustée en fonction de l'énergie disponible d'un appareil, en introduisant l'établissement de canal sécurisé qui tient compte de la consommation d'énergie. Après avoir étudié en profondeur les normes 5G, il a été constaté que les réseaux d'UE D2D utilisant ce type de norme dépenseraient une quantité importante d'énergie et seraient généralement moins sûr. Un mécanisme léger de recléage est donc proposé pour réduire les coûts liés cette adaptation. Pour compléter le concept de canal sécurisé prenant en compte l'énergie et le mécanisme de recléage, une méthode de bootstrapping des paramètres de sécurité est également présentée. Le méthode désigne le cœur du réseau (CN) comme responsable de la politique de sécurité, rend l'ensemble du réseau plus sûr et aide à prévenir les pannes de communication. L'adaptation susvisé requiert l'étude du compromis entre l’énergie et sécurité. À cette fin, un processus décisionnel de Markov (MDP) modélisant un canal de communication est présenté lorsqu'un agent choisit les éléments de sécurité à appliquer aux paquets transmis. Ce problème d'optimisation du contrôle stochastique est résolu par plusieurs algorithmes de programmation dynamique et d’apprentissage par le renforcement (RL). Les résultats montrent que l'adaptation susvisé peut prolonger de manière significative la durée de vie de l'équipement et de la batterie, et améliore la fiabilité des données tout en offrant des fonctions de sécurité. Une étude comparative est présentée pour les différents algorithmes RL. Puis une approche d'apprentissage Q-profond (DQL) est proposé que améliore la vitesse d'apprentissage de l'agent et la fiabilité des données. / The 5th Generation Cellular Network Technology (5G) will be the network supporting the Internet of Things (IoT) and it introduced a major feature, Device-to-Device (D2D) communications. D2D allows energy-constrained wireless devices to save energy by interacting in proximity at a lower transmission power. Cooperation and device-assisted networking therefore raise signicant interest with respect to energy saving, and can be used in conjunction with energy harvesting to prolong the lifetime of battery-powered devices. However, cooperation schemes increase networking between devices, increasing the need for security mechanisms to be executed to assure data protection and trust relations between network nodes. This leads to the use of cryptographic primitives and security mechanisms with a much higher frequency.Security mechanisms are fundamental for protection against malicious actions but they also represent an important source of energy consumption, often neglected due to the importance of data protection. Authentication procedures for secure channel establishment can be computationally and energetically expensive, especially if the devices are resource constrained. Security features such as condentiality and data authentication have a low energetic cost but are used constantly in a device engaged in data exchanges. It is therefore necessary to properly quantify the energy consumption due to security in a device. A security based energy model is proposed to achieve this goal.In User Equipment (UE) D2D networks, mobility is a key characteristic. It can be explored for connecting directly in proximity with IoT objects. A lightweight authentication solution is presented that allows direct UE-IoT communications, extending coverage and potentially saving signicant energy amounts. This approach can be particularly useful in Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) scenarios where the network infrastructure may not be available.Security features such as condentiality or data authentication are a significant source of consumption. Devices equipped with Energy Harvesting (EH) hardware can have a surplus or a deficit of energy. The applied security can therefore be adjusted to the available energy of a device, introducing an energy aware secure channel. After in depth analysis of 5G standards, it was found that D2D UE networks using this type of channel would spend a signicant amount of energy and be generally less secure. A lightweight rekeying mechanism is therefore proposed to reduce the security overhead of adapting security to energy. To complete the proposed rekeying mechanism, a security parameter bootstrapping method is also presented. The method denes the Core Network (CN) as the security policy maker, makes the overall network more secure and helps preventing communication outages.Adapting security features to energy levels raises the need for the study of the energy/security tradeoff. To this goal, an Markov Decision Process (MDP) modeling a communication channel is presented where an agent chooses the security features to apply to transmitted packets. This stochastic control optimization problem is solved via several dynamic programming and Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms. Results show that adapting security features to the available energy can signicantly prolong battery lifetime, improve data reliability while still providing security features. A comparative study is also presented for the different RL learning algorithms. Then a Deep Q-Learning (DQL) approach is presented and tested to improve the learning speed of the agent. Results confirm the faster learning speed. The approach is then tested under difficult EH hardware stability. Results show robust learning properties and excellent security decision making from the agent with a direct impact on data reliability. Finally, a memory footprint comparison is made to demonstrate the feasibility of the presented system even on resource constrained devices.
