Abstract :

The collection of papers investigates various aspects of energy harvesting and power management for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The overarching objective is to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of IoT systems through innovative energy harvesting techniques and effective power management strategies. The methodologies employed across these studies include designing energy-efficient IoT architectures, exploring different energy harvesting techniques (such as solar and photovoltaic methods), implementing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) systems, and devising effective task scheduling algorithms for energy-harvested IoT devices. The studies also delve into power management and control mechanisms, focusing on self-powered IoT devices capable of operating in remote or harsh environments. Significant findings across the papers reveal advancements in solar energy harvesting for IoT devices, improved energy storage using supercapacitors and lithium cells, and the development of ultra-low power wireless IoT devices. One study specifically highlights a self-powered IoT device prototype, demonstrating its functionality in remote applications with extended operational capacity. The main conclusion drawn from these studies is the feasibility and effectiveness of self-sustaining IoT systems through advanced energy harvesting techniques and power management strategies. These innovations promise to significantly reduce the dependency on traditional power sources, thereby paving the way for more robust, efficient, and sustainable IoT ecosystems in various applications, including remote and challenging environments.
