This master’s thesis deals with the design of autonomous monitoring system electronics which will be used for diagnostics of the electromagnetic vibration generator developed at Brno University of Technology. This generator should be used in a practical application where frequent mechanical shocks are present, for example in vehicle or goods transportation. For such an application, the goal of the monitoring system is to find out whether generator is capable of producing enough electrical energy for smooth operation of wireless sensors used in similar applications. The first part of the thesis consists of the autonomous diagnostics system overview from both commercial and scientific spheres, brief description of the vibration generator used and also a summary of commercially available power management electronics. The next chapters present the detailed description of each functional element of energy harvesting system, the simulation of generator’s behaviour for optimal load in three different model applications and the most important part – design of the autonomous monitoring system. In the end, achieved results are evaluated and it is considered whether the shock-driven generator is suitable for use in a given application.

[pt] O ensaio de impulso para perfuração de isoladores é um ensaio normalizado descrito na IEC 61211:2004 e é fundamental para verificar em laboratório a qualidade de isoladores de vidro ou porcelana utilizados no sistema elétrico de potência. A norma IEC 60060-2:2010 recomenda que a calibração dos Sistemas de Medição utilizados em ensaios para Perfuração de Isoladores (SMIP) deve ser realizada por comparação com um padrão. Contudo, embora o ensaio de perfuração seja normalizado, ainda não existem padrões para rastrear esse sistema de medição na maioria dos institutos de pesquisas em âmbito global. Quantificar a amplitude de um impulso de perfuração, com todas as garantias metrológicas, não é uma tarefa trivial, por se tratar de um sinal impulsivo com amplitude de centenas de kilovolts e durações da ordem de 200 ns. Além disso, divisores de tensão com alto desempenho dinâmico para essa aplicação especifica também não estão disponíveis comercialmente. Deste modo, o objetivo desta dissertação foi projetar e desenvolver um SMIP. O divisor de tensão, integrante do sistema de medição, foi construído a fim de garantir uma mínima indutância e um alto desempenho dinâmico. Também foi desenvolvido um filtro para a remoção de interferências eletromagnéticas baseado na transformada wavelet, integrado a um software que controla aquisição, condicionamento do sinal, determinação e análise dos parâmetros do impulso de perfuração. O desempenho do sistema de medição foi avaliado em baixa tensão e em alta tensão, bem como foi estimada sua incerteza de medição, sendo então capaz de atender às exigências normativas e metrológicas do Laboratório de Referência em medição do Cepel. / [en] Impulse testing for puncture insulator is a standardized test described in IEC 61211:2004 and is essential for laboratory testing of the quality of glass or porcelain insulators used in the electrical power system. IEC 60060-2:2010 recommends that calibration of Measurement Systems used in Impulse Puncture Test on insulators (IPMS) should be performed by comparison against a standard. However, although the impulse puncture testing is standardized, there are still no standards for traceability of this measurement system at most research institutes globally. Quantifying the amplitude of an impulse puncture test, with all metrological guarantees, is not a trivial task, since it is an impulsive signal with amplitude of hundreds of kilovolts and durations of the order of 200 ns. In addition, high dynamic performance voltage dividers for this specific application are not commercially available either. Thus, the objective of this dissertation was to design and develop an IPMS. The voltage divider, which is part of the measuring system, is designed to ensure minimum inductance and high dynamic performance. A filter for electromagnetic interference removal based on the wavelet transform was also developed, integrated with software that controls acquisition, signal conditioning, determination and analysis of the impulse puncture testing parameters. The performance of the measuring system was evaluated at low voltage and high voltage, as well as its measurement uncertainty was estimated, being able to meet the normative and metrological requirements of the Cepel s Measurement Reference Laboratory.
