研究目的
To minimize the additional long–term maintenance costs of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by designing sensing systems able to power themselves over long periods of time, specifically through thermoelectric harvesting.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that thermoelectric harvesting-powered WSN nodes are feasible with current off-the-shelf components and can sustain a considerable volume of data transfers. It also highlights the potential of simple prediction schemes for routing in multi-hop environments, despite the challenges posed by the variable availability of energy.
研究不足
The study is limited by the variability and seasonality of thermoelectric harvesting, the relatively low power output compared to other harvesting methods, and the need for careful placement of TE harvesters to maximize energy capture.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study focuses on thermoelectric harvesting for powering WSN nodes, utilizing the Seebeck effect.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Data collected from an actual inhabited apartment complex in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, is used.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes TEC1-12703 Peltier module, Texas Instruments CC2530 microcontroller, and integrated Zigbee transceiver, among others.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Involves characterizing the TE harvester, connecting it to a battery management module to charge a supercapacitor, and testing data transmission capabilities.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzes the relationship between temperature difference and energy harvested, and evaluates the performance of the WSN node in terms of data transmission volume.
