Energy-Efficient System Design for Internet of Things (IoT) Devices

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology is increasing vastly and in the coming days, billions of things/devices/systems will be connected with each other through the internet. For making this emerging technology self-sustainable, there is a need for green and incessant energy, to power up different nodes of the IoT system, and it is only possible with the use of energy harvesting schemes. A number of renewable resources are available in nature and by using some means and methods the available renewable energy can be harnessed effectively. In this chapter, a brief overview of different energy harvesting schemes is presented along with their advantages and limitations. The wireless power transfer and wireless energy harvesting scheme using rectenna technology are also discussed in detail in the subsequent section. In the last subsection, the latest applications of IoT with their influence on human life are discussed.
