Energy harvesting for wireless sensor nodes: investigation of architectures and sources of energy
by S. Mekid, Z. Zhu
International Journal of Computer Aided Engineering and Technology (IJCAET), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2009

Abstract: Power harvesting becomes an extremely important issue with evolving wireless sensing in various types of applications. This paper presents a research highlight on the design of an energy harvesting system with small geometric characteristics operating indoor for wireless sensor nodes. After analysing the power consumption of each component in a sensor node and evaluating experimentally the amount of harvested energy, the paper proposes a possible architecture of energy harvesting system and provides design considerations.
