The wind-induced vibration energy harvester with a cuboid chamber of 62 mm \u00d7 19.6 mm \u00d7 10 mm converts ambient wind energy into electrical energy to power the sensor node. A TMP102 temperature sensor and the MSP430 microcontroller are used to measure the temperature. The power management module consists of LTC3588-1 and LT3009 units. The measured temperature is transmitted by the nRF24l01 transceiver. Experimental results show that the critical wind speed of the harvester was about 5.4 m\/s and the output power of the harvester was about 1.59 mW for the electrical load of 20 k\u03a9 at wind speed of 11.2 m\/s, which was sufficient to power the wireless sensor node to measure and transmit the temperature every 13 s. When the wind speed increased from 6 m\/s to 11.5 m\/s, the self-powered wireless sensor node worked normally.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150305020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,27]],"date-time":"2015-02-27T10:08:39Z","timestamp":1425031719000},"page":"5020-5031","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["A Wind Energy Powered Wireless Temperature Sensor Node"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Chuang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology and Systems of the Education Ministry of China, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xue-Feng","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology and Systems of the Education Ministry of China, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"},{"name":"Microsystem Research Center, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Si-Yu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology and Systems of the Education Ministry of China, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yao-Qing","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microsystem Research Center, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology and Systems of the Education Ministry of China, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125009","DOI":"10.1088\/0960-1317\/23\/12\/125009","article-title":"A micromachined low-frequency piezoelectric harvester for vibration and wind energy scavenging","volume":"23","author":"He","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
