–In this paper it is presented a volcanic seismic
acquisition equipment that has been developed together with
an energy harvesting system, based on piezoelectric
elements, in order to work in autonomous conditions. The
energy harvesting system has been developed to convert the
wind or marine currents energy into electrical energy
through a new method based on piezoelectrics. For the
deployment of the volcanic seismic acquisition equipment in
marine environments, this power generator produces energy
obtained from harnessing of the kinetic energy of marine
currents. The first results have shown that the system is
capable to provide a small amount of energy that can be
used to extend the deployment time of the volcanic seismic
acquisition equipment.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
