FYPSim: Evaluation Tool for Solar-based Energy Harvesting for WSNs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a simulation tool for modeling energy harvesting and energy storage technologies with application to wireless sensor networks. Firstly, we provide a concise review of various energy harvesting technologies (solar, wind, thermal, vibrations) that can possibly increase the autonomy of wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes. Secondly, we illustrate the capabilities of the proposed tool by means of outdoor and indoor solar energy harvesting examples. These examples consider four types of WSN nodes (Micaz, Imote2, Dresden-AVR, and TelosB) and two types of storage devices (Li-Ion battery and supercapacitor). The results illustrate how system designers can rapidly assess the feasibility of solar-based energy harvesting for various computational loads on the above WSN nodes. In turn, this could be useful for designing, among others, wearable health monitoring systems making use of e.g. bio-electromagnetic sensors.

Power management in SMAC-based energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks using queuing analysis
one of the most important constraints in traditional wireless sensor networks is the limited amount of energy available at each sensor node. The energy consumption is mainly determined by the choice of media access mechanism. SMAC is a typical access mechanism that has drawn much attention in recent years. In WSNs, sensors are usually equipped with capacity-limited battery sources that can sust...
