Wireless sensors and sensor networks (WSNs) are nowadays becoming increasingly important due to their decisive advantages. Different trends towards the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0 and 5G Networks address massive sensing and admit to have wireless sensors delivering measurement data directly to the Web in a reliable and easy manner. These sensors can only be supported, if sufficient energy efficiency and flexible solutions are developed for energy-aware wireless sensor nodes. In the last years, different possibilities for energy harvesting have been investigated showing a high level of maturity. This book gives therefore an overview on fundamentals and techniques for energy harvesting and energy transfer from different points of view. Different techniques and methods for energy transfer, management and energy saving on network level are reported together with selected interesting applications. The book is interesting for researchers, developers and students in the field of sensors, wireless sensors, WSNs, IoT and manifold application fields using related technologies. The book is organized in four major parts. The first part of the book introduces essential fundamentals and methods, while the second part focusses on vibration converters and hybridization. The third part is dedicated to wireless energy transfer, including both RF and inductive energy transfer. Finally, the fourth part of the book treats energy saving and management strategies. The main contents are: Essential fundamentals and methods of wireless sensors Energy harvesting from vibration Hybrid vibration energy converters Electromagnetic transducers Piezoelectric transducers Magneto-electric transducers Non-linear broadband converters Energy transfer via magnetic fields RF energy transfer Energy saving techniques Energy management strategies Energy management on network level Applications in agriculture Applications in structural health monitoring Application in power grids Prof. Dr. Olfa Kanoun is professor for measurement and sensor technology at Chemnitz university of technology. She is specialist in the field of sensors and sensor systems design.
Energy Harvesting in Wireless Sensor Networks and Internet of Things
The energy efficiency paradigm is a major bottleneck for the development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and Internet of Things (IoT) architectures and technologies. This edited book presents comprehensive coverage of energy harvesting sources and techniques that can be used for WSN and IoT systems.
Energy Scavenging for Wireless Sensor Networks

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2004
Roundy (University of California-Berkeley) reports on a research project to explore alternative power methods for wireless sensor nodes. Models and designs presented here will enable the application of vibration-based generators in wireless sensor applications. An introductory chapter examines the potential of a range of energy scavenging methods, while the remainder of the book focuses on vibrations as a power source. Commonly occurring vibrations are evaluated for the amount of power that could be scavenged from them, and different methods of converting the kinetic energy inherent in the vibrations are compared. Both piezoelectrical and electrostatic MEMS generator devices are discussed.
