SCOPE
Web-enabled smart devices that comprises of tiny gadgets using embedded systems like processors, communication gear (gathering, transmitting and elaborating environmental data), sensors are controlled by “The internet of things” (IoT). These devices are comprised of lightweight, scalable, energy-efficient storage nodes. Evident from the preceding reason, energy harvesting is essential for enhancing the effectiveness and durability of IoT devices. Devices may be randomly deployed and exposed to harsh, extreme environments. Consequently, it is claimed that energy harvesting technology permits devices to collect energy from ambient sources and recharge their batteries. Power management integrated circuits (PMICs), which increase the system’s lifespan, are essential for reducing the power consumption of the batteries. Ideally, the lifetime of the network should be as long as possible. Hence, the energy economy and lifetime of the battery are crucial for developing and designing wireless sensors (IoT devices). Despite revolutionary developments in operating systems, communication protocols, and the implementation of commanding power management algorithms, extremely effective MAC (medium access control) and routing protocols, batteries still have finite capacity and will eventually run out of power. In order to guarantee the network’s functionality, costly battery replacement maintenance operations must be performed. Due to the magnitude of wireless sensing networks and the position of the sensors, which are typically in difficult-to-reach locations, these maintenance tasks are frequently problematic. In addition to providing power for a limited amount of time, batteries are not an ideal power source for wireless devices. These include reduced energy efficiencies and leakage, which drains the charge of the battery even when it is not in use. In addition, the impact of temperature on a battery’s capability to perform, with extreme temperatures producing capacity and power losses, restricts the spectrum of battery applications.
As in earlier days, wireless sensors were typically driven by batteries, which, despite enabling for minimal system costs altogether, had a detrimental effect on the life and efficiency of the entire system in which they were used. The battery life is one of the primary hurdles to deploying wireless sensor networks. Energy Harvesting (EH) technology is a feasible, eco-friendly solution methodology that, in certain circumstances, completely replaces the requirement for batteries while prolonging the duration of these sensor. It ensures most cost-effective use of resources with lower network maintenance costs that deliver economic and practical benefits of energy harvesting.
Due to the rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), there is a heightened interest in developing low-power wireless sensors. Modern Internet of Things (IoT) systems incorporate wireless sensors to gather data in a trustworthy and useful way to monitor processes and manage operations in sectors like transportation, renewable energy, civil infrastructure, smart buildings manufacturing, environment condition monitoring, healthcare, defense, and manufacturing. When these IoT devices are designed and implemented, they must consider their long-term and selfsustaining activities from the outset. Multiple sources of energy can be considered for energy harvesting. These sources can be divided into five categories: organic, hybrid, mechanical, and human. Ambient energy sources are easily accessible and cost-free in the environment. These auditory sources can be categorized into various groups. Considered as some of the most recent are energy sources based on the solar energy, radio frequency, thermal energy, wind energy, and hydro-based energy sources. Furthermore, future research directions in the following areas can be considered as the most emerging.
The topical and vertical summit on Energy Harvesting for energy efficiency in the Internet of Things aims to bring together academics, practitioners, and researchers with the purpose of exchanging experiences and presenting discoveries on energy efficiency in IOT based devices. Renewable energy sources will dominate the panel discussions and presentation sessions that also include power management integrated circuits, self-powered Internet of Things power generation, battery technology, etc.
