Energy harvesting and battery technologies for powering wireless sensor networks

摘要: Abstract Due to the advances in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), factory and plant process automation systems are being reinvented. WSN-based industrial applications often cost much less than wired both short long terms; engineers empowering existing solutions with new capabilities of WSNs. On other hand, since (IWSNs) consist thousands nodes, problem powering nodes is critical. Power usually provided through primary batteries this necessitates replacement when depleted. However, may not be cost-effective or even feasible most applications. Though advancements integrated circuit technologies help saving more energy by leading lower consumption levels, they do eliminate use battery power. In regard, harvesting play a key role extending lifetime nodes. Wireless within plants can operate from harvested available sources such as heat, mechanical motion vibration, indoor lighting, electromagnetic fields, air flow. chapter, review storage various energy-harvesting techniques given. The chapter then discusses open research issues these topics.
