Energy Harvesting Techniques for IOT Devices

Abstract

For optimal operation of IoT devices, a continuous and reliable supply of electrical energy is essential. Power Holding Companies may unexpectedly halt energy supply for many reasons. Moreover, many IoT devices situated in distant locations, such as dense forests, are unlikely to get electricity from Power Holding Companies. Once again, batteries are not an ideal solution due to their finite life cycle. To provide continuous power for the IoT gadget, it must gather its energy.  energy derived from the surrounding environment. This will provide continuous power supply and an enduring life cycle for the gadgets. This paper discusses energy harvesting. The primary focus of discussion is the sources derived from the surrounding environment and the various methods used in their extraction. This study focuses on energy sources and their harvesting methods for IoT and other miniature electronic devices.
