Many machines generate a significant amount of waste heat, which could be used as steady and plentiful energy source for energy-harvesting Internet Things devices. The main component in the conversion subsystem such device is thermoelectric generator (TEG) placed between heat sink. Once TEG reaches state, electromotive force developed across it depends only on temperature gradient. aim this paper to present novel approach boosting power production by making use another byproduct working –...

General hardware architecture of an energy-harvested wireless sensor network node (EH-WSN) can be divided into power, sensing, computing and communication subsystems. Interrelation between these subsystems in combination with constrained energy supply makes design implementation EH-WSN a complex challenging task. Separation distinct modules simplifies the process software more generic, leading to flexible solutions. From other hand, tightly coupling gives room for optimizations at price...
