Bond Graph Modeling for Energy-Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks

In order to resolve the traditional limited lifetime problem, energy harvesting technology has been introduced into wireless sensor network (WSN) in recent years, engendering a new kind of network which is called energy harvesting wireless sensor ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are crucial in supporting continuous environmental monitoring, where sensor nodes are deployed and must remain operational to collect and transfer data from the environment to a base-station. However, sensor nodes have ...

Energy harvesting technologies are required for autonomous sensor networks for which using a power source from a fixed utility or manual battery recharging is infeasible. An energy harvesting device (e.g., a solar cell) converts different forms of ...
