Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have aroused the conspectus attention of scholars due to their extensive deployment in the emerging fields of the Internet of Things (IoT's) and self-driven devices. But WSNs technologies having a major bottleneck has been associated with limited energy. Mostly research in WSNs has been focused on minimizing energy usage to extend the survival time of limited power source in a network. Energy harvesting can be addressing its energy-scarcity problem of WSNs, so it is giving popularity to Energy Harvesting in Wireless Sensor Networks (EH-WSNs). The paper presents a comprehensive taxonomic survey on recently energy harvesting techniques and algorithms that proposed by various authors and also examined the work done by the various researchers in the field of EH-WSNs. For the ready reference of the researchers, a concise summary and comparative analysis of various promising techniques for energy harvesting have also been included in the systematic survey. However, many equipment developed using the hybridization method in a singular package to get full advantages of available free energy, are explored in this review. The review on hybrid energy harvesting (HEH) systems can be considered as the originality of this article. However, the outdoor photovoltaics have been provided maximum power density about ≈100 mW/cm 3 , and the piezoelectric harvesters have been given maximum voltage about 325 V but the current in very minute amount. The thermoelectric, rectenna and hybrid energy harvesters (EHs) have been given high efficiency more than 80%. Additionally, hybrid EHs have location/timeindependent characteristics which harnessed power from more than one source that can be became more popular for upcoming leading technologies of self-driven or autonomous devices shifting from battery operated devices. Finally, the survey also identifies often challenges and various significant issues that still essential to be addressed to develop a cost effective, efficient, long-lasting, and almost maintenance-free energy harvesting systems for WSNs along with trail to their possible solutions for future perspectives.

This study examined the electromechanical characteristics of piezoelectric materials, which constitute a compact renewable energy source; these materials can convert mechanical energy (such as pressure or a cumulative impact) in the form of mechanical stress to electricity. This study further explored systems that require moderate energy and utilize piezoelectric materials to create an energy-generating floor. The electrical characteristics of these piezoelectric materials were studied, including the feasibility of installing them as a power source for road lighting, particularly cycling lanes. Furthermore, the effects of riders’ weights and cycling speeds were investigated. The results indicate that the electric power generated is adequate for the installation of these materials and can thus help improve visibility in the event of insufficient lighting.

“…Taking advantage of this technology, wireless sensor nodes can operate over batteries for up to several years, depending on the final application. At the same time, energy harvesting, and energy storage technologies have evolved improving their power and energy densities and reducing charging times [6][7][8][9]. With the aid of supercapacitors as energy storage components [10], energy harvesters have become a promising energy transduction technology for self-powered wireless sensor nodes.…”

A wireless self-powered temperature sensor node is presented. This sensor node is powered by a commercially available indoor photovoltaic energy harvester module. The sensor node uses Bluetooth ® Low Energy as wireless connection. Both the hardware and firmware have been optimized to obtain a very low power consumption. An auto adaptive energy management routine has been implemented to extend the autonomy of the sensor node. The system consumption and photovoltaic generation have been characterized at different conditions, obtaining a tool to estimate the autonomy of the system. The system has also been tested in a climatic chamber to study the effect of the temperature, a key factor that affects the power consumption, and hence the autonomy of the sensor.
