微处理器技术、传感器技术和无线通信技术的高速发展推动了无线传感器网络技术的广泛应用。但是,能量是制约传感器节点持续工作的重要因素。采集环境能量为传感器节点供电是一种较为理想的解决方案,其中太阳能是一种广泛使用的环境能量。该文通过能量管理和能量控制的方法,设计了一种基于太阳能的传感器节点原型系统,实现了传感器节点能量的可持续性。
The rapid advances in processor and radio technology enable the development of wireless sensor networks.However,the severe energy constraints of the sensors present major challenges for long-term applications.In order to achieve sustainability,environmental energy harvesting has been demonstrated as a promising approach.In this work,we divide the energy utilization system to three parts with different functions: energy harvesting,energy consuming and energy storage.Then we formulate the sustainability problem as an energy flow control problem.
