Abstract EN
Despite the well-known advantages of communication solutions based on energy harvesting, there are scenarios where the absence of batteries (supercapacitor only) or the use of rechargeable batteries is not a realistic option.
Therefore, the alternative is to extend as much as possible the lifetime of primary cells (nonrechargeable batteries).
By assuming low duty-cycle applications, three power-management techniques are combined in a novel way to provide an efficient energy solution for wireless sensor networks nodes or similar communication devices powered by primary cells.
Accordingly, a customized node is designed and long-term experiments in laboratory and outdoors are realized.
Simulated and empirical results show that the battery lifetime can be drastically enhanced.
However, two trade-offs are identified: a significant increase of both data latency and hardware/software complexity.
Unattended nodes deployed in outdoors under extreme temperatures, buried sensors (underground communication), and nodes embedded in the structure of buildings, bridges, and roads are some of the target scenarios for this work.
Part of the provided guidelines can be used to extend the battery lifetime of communication devices in general.
