Self-Powered WSN for Distributed Data Center Monitoring

چکیده
Monitoring environmental parameters in data centers is gathering nowadays increasing attention from industry, due to the need of high energy efficiency of cloud services. We present the design and the characterization of an energy neutral embedded wireless system, prototyped to monitor perpetually environmental parameters in servers and racks. It is powered by an energy harvesting module based on Thermoelectric Generators, which converts the heat dissipation from the servers. Starting from the empirical characterization of the energy harvester, we present a power conditioning circuit optimized for the specific application. The whole system has been enhanced with several sensors. An ultra-low-power micro-controller stacked over the energy harvesting provides an efficient power management. Performance have been assessed and compared with the analytical model for validation.

متن کاملA Graph-Center-Based Scheme for Energy-Efficient Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks
We consider the problem of sensor data collection in a wireless sensor network (WSN). The geographic deployment of sensors is random, with an irregular network topology. We propose a data collection scheme for the WSN, based on the concept of the center of the graph in graph theory. The purpose of the scheme is to use less power in the process of data collection. Because it is mostly true that ...
