Energy Harvesting Autonomous Sensor Systems: Design, Analysis, and Practical Implementation provides a wide range of coverage of various energy harvesting techniques to enable the development of a truly self-autonomous and sustainable energy harvesting wireless sensor network (EH-WSN). It supplies a practical overview of the entire EH-WSN system from energy source all the way to energy usage by wireless sensor nodes/network. After an in-depth review of existing energy harvesting research thus far, the book focuses on: Outlines two wind energy harvesting (WEH) approaches, one using a wind turbine generator and one a piezoelectric wind energy harvester Covers thermal energy harvesting (TEH) from ambient heat sources with low temperature differences Presents two types of piezoelectric-based vibration energy harvesting systems to harvest impact or impulse forces from a human pressing a button or switch action Examines hybrid energy harvesting approaches that augment the reliability of the wireless sensor node’s operation Discusses a hybrid wind and solar energy harvesting scheme to simultaneously use both energy sources and therefore extend the lifetime of the wireless sensor node Explores a hybrid of indoor ambient light and TEH scheme that uses only one power management circuit to condition the combined output power harvested from both energy sources Although the author focuses on small-scale energy harvesting, the systems discussed can be upsized to large-scale renewable energy harvesting systems. The book goes beyond theory to explore practical applications that not only solve real-life energy issues but pave the way for future work in this area.

Autonomous sensors transmit data and power their electronics without using cables. They can be found in e.g. wireless sensor networks (WSNs) or remote acquisition systems. Although primary batteries provide a simple design for powering autonomous sensors, they present several limitations such as limited capacity and power density, and difficulty in predicting their condition and state of charge. An alternative is to extract energy from the ambient (energy harvesting). However, the reduced dimensions of most autonomous sensors lead to a low level of available power from the energy transducer. Thus, efficient methods and circuits to manage and gather the energy are a must. An integral approach for powering autonomous sensors by considering both primary batteries and energy harvesters is presented. Two rather different forms of energy harvesting are also dealt with: optical (or solar) and radiofrequency (RF). Optical energy provides high energy density, especially outdoors, whereas RF remote powering is possibly the most feasible option for autonomous sensors embedded into the soil or within structures. Throughout different chapters, devices such as primary and secondary batteries, supercapacitors, and energy transducers are extensively reviewed. Then, circuits and methods found in the literature used to efficiently extract and gather the energy are presented. Finally, new proposals based on the authors’ own research are analyzed and tested. Every chapter is written to be rather independent, with each incorporating the relevant literature references. Powering Autonomous Sensors is intended for a wide audience working on or interested in the powering of autonomous sensors. Researchers and engineers can find a broad introduction to basic topics in this interesting and emerging area as well as further insights on the topics of solar and RF harvesting and of circuits and methods to maximize the power extracted from energy transducers.

Autonomous mobile sensor networks consist of a number of autonomous mobile robots equipped with various sensors and tasked with a common mission. This thesis considers the topology control of such an ad hoc mobile sensor network. In particular, I studied the problem of controlling the size, with respect to a distance metric, of the network for general interactive forcing among agents. Developed is a stability result, allowing one to design force laws to control the spread of the network. Many of the current results assume a known and/or fixed topology of the graph representing the communication between the nodes, i.e. the graph laplacian is assumed constant. They also assume fixed and known force-laws. Hence, the results are limited to time-invariant dynamics. The research considers stability analysis of sensor networks, unconstrained by specific forcing functions or algorithms, and communication topologies. Since the graph topologies are allowed to change as the agents move about, the system dynamics become discontinuous in nature. Filippov's calculus of differential equations with discontinuous right hand sides is used to formally characterize the multi-agent system with the above attributes. Lyapunov's Stability Theory, applied to discontinuous systems, is then used to derive bounds on the norm of the system states given bounds on its initial states and input. The above derived stability results lend themselves to the derivation of methods for the design of algorithms or force-laws for mobile sensor networks. The efficacy of the derived results is illustrated through several examples where it is shown how they may be used for synthesizing a topology managing strategy. Examples are given of designing force-laws that limit the network in a desired area.

Self-Organization in Sensor and Actor Networks explores self-organization mechanisms and methodologies concerning the efficient coordination between intercommunicating autonomous systems.Self-organization is often referred to as the multitude of algorithms and methods that organise the global behaviour of a system based on inter-system communication. Studies of self-organization in natural systems first took off in the 1960s. In technology, such approaches have become a hot research topic over the last 4-5 years with emphasis upon management and control in communication networks, and especially in resource-constrained sensor and actor networks. In the area of ad hoc networks new solutions have been discovered that imitate the properties of self-organization. Some algorithms for on-demand communication and coordination, including data-centric networking, are well-known examples. Key features include: Detailed treatment of self-organization, mobile sensor and actor networks, coordination between autonomous systems, and bio-inspired networking. Overview of the basic methodologies for self-organization, a comparison to central and hierarchical control, and classification of algorithms and techniques in sensor and actor networks. Explanation of medium access control, ad hoc routing, data-centric networking, synchronization, and task allocation issues. Introduction to swarm intelligence, artificial immune system, molecular information exchange. Numerous examples and application scenarios to illustrate the theory. Self-Organization in Sensor and Actor Networks will prove essential reading for students of computer science and related fields; researchers working in the area of massively distributed systems, sensor networks, self-organization, and bio-inspired networking will also find this reference useful.

"Condition monitoring in electrical power networks can reduce maintenance costs, improve supply reliability and provide a real-time measurement of equipment operating conditions. For example, around a transformer we need to control parameters like KV, tap position, temperature of the transformer, oil temperature, buck trip, buck alarm, oil temperature trip, winding temperature alarm, auto tap position control etc. However, wiring monitoring sensors in a substation environment or on a power line and around High Voltage (HV) devices can be very expensive. Using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) would reduce installation costs. Nonetheless, sensors would eventually run out of energy. Another factor to consider is that changing the batteries of sensors located around HV devices can be costly, inconvenient and could potentially involve high personal safety risks. Consequently, for the purpose of condition monitoring, providing an autonomous WSN is of utmost importance. An autonomous WSN eliminates the problem of replacing batteries or recharging them manually. Enabling nodes in the network to harvest energy from their ambient environment may provide us with a self-powering WSN. Fortunately, a substation area is a rich environment for energy harvesting purposes. However, not all the monitoring sensors are necessarily close enough to HV terminals to take advantage of energy harvesting potential.This thesis studies the possibility of deploying an autonomous wireless sensor network in a substation environment. To this end, a hierarchical energy-harvesting model is proposed in which energy is scavenged in two levels. In the first step, energy is scavenged using harvesters that are located close to high voltage terminals. Then a portion of the scavenged energy will be distributed to nearby sensor nodes by radiating radio frequency signals to them. The hierarchical aspect of our model allows us to deal with the non-uniform distribution of the energy harvesting resources.The main goal of this thesis is to evaluate and optimize the performance of the proposed hierarchical energy-harvesting model. To this end, we have studied our system through mathematical analysis and computer simulations. %Our analysis allows us to predict the outage probability for a system, consisting of a number of sensors and with different initial settings. Therefore, the involved parameters can be adjusted to deliver the targeted performance. We also have proposed power allocation techniques to maximize the efficiency of our autonomous WSN.In this work we show that despite the wasteful nature of wireless transfer of energy, a self-sustainable wireless sensor network in a substation area can be accomplished"--

Mobile robots and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enabled great potentials and a large space for ubiquitous and pervasive applications. Robotics and WSNs have mostly been considered as separate research fields and little work has investigated the marriage between these two technologies. However, these two technologies share several features, enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary support to each other. The primary objective of book is to provide a reference for cutting-edge studies and research trends pertaining to robotics and sensor networks, and in particular for the coupling between them. The book consists of five chapters. The first chapter presents a cooperation strategy for teams of multiple autonomous vehicles to solve the rendezvous problem. The second chapter is motivated by the need to improve existing solutions that deal with connectivity prediction, and proposed a genetic machine learning approach for link-quality prediction. The third chapter presents an architecture for indoor navigation using an Android smartphone for guiding a variety of users, from sighted to the visually impaired, to their intended destination. In chapter four, the authors deal with accurate prediction modeling of ocean currents for underwater glider navigation. In chapter five, the authors discuss the challenges and limitations of RSS-based localization mechanisms and propose, EasyLoc, an autonomous and practical RSS-based localization technique that satisfies ease of deployment and implementation.
