IoT sensor devices are often powered by batteries. Nowadays, energy harvesting (EH) technologies even make possible the battery-less solutions to a sensor device equipped with a low-power radio and processor module. EH-powered sensor devices make an IoT network a true autonomous system with many years of operation; however, they are often used in certain conditions where EH is possible. You will learn the scenarios when EH-based wireless networking is suitable to be used.
- [Narrator] EH, which stands for energy harvesting,…is the process in which energy is captured…from the ambient environment…and converted into useful electric power.…The use of EH-based networks,…consisting of self-powered IoT end devices,…mainly came from the needs for IoT applications…for a long-term operation.…One solution to this energy harvesting based IoT network…is the use of energy harvesting technologies.…
Once the energy is harvested, energy can be stored…in a lithium-ion, or thin film battery, or a supercapacitor…as a power supply for other electronic components…on a sensor radio board.…On the IoT end device, the power can still be generated…or stored by energy harvesters.…The use of energy harvesters on an IoT device…enables the so-called "self-powered" IoT devices,…and it creates a whole new range of low-power IoT networks,…that can last for a long period of time.…
The EH-based networks can be used…in many application domains,…such as smart home, building automation systems,…as well as general machine-to-machine communications.…
