This study describes a sensor node powered by an energy harvesting method based on the watermill principle. This method is suitable whenever a sensor node has to be deployed in the nearby of an underground water line, such as a drainage system or an aqueduct. The operating scenario for whom this solution has been developed and employed is a wireless sensor network for the monitoring of the environmental conditions of the so-called 'Bottini' in Siena, Italy. The 'Bottini' is a network of medieval aqueducts dug in the underground of the historic centre of the city, in which water still flows nowadays. Using the proposed energy harvesting system the sensor nodes are able to operate independently, minimising the maintenance and allowing the real-time monitoring of environmental parameters, thanks, in order to manage the preservation of this ancient site. The entire system is composed of three parts: the power generation system, the data acquisition system and the wireless transmission system. The whole architecture has been tested in the operating scenario, precisely in 'Fontebranda', one of the biggest fountains in the 'Bottini' network.

“…Resonant energy harvesting structures, on the other hand, need to operate at the resonant frequency to achieve maximum power output while obtaining maximum displacement. 61 The vibration energy harvesting under stochastic excitation mainly works under the working condition of stochastic excitation, which can realize the nonlinear energy harvesting of stochastic excitation, and has relatively wide applicability.…”

Nowadays, with the rapid development of the intelligent era and the concept of Internet of Things being proposed, more and more sensors will play a more important role. Providing a sustainable power source for sensors has become the focus of current research in microsystem power generation. The harvesting of widely available vibrational energy from the environment for use as an alternative power source for sensors is of great significance in efficient energy utilization. Researchers have been working on developing efficient energy harvesters for broadband and efficient energy harvesting. Nonlinear energy harvesting holds more significant promise. In this paper, we summarized and reviewed the research progress of three different harvesting methods from the perspective of varying energy harvesting methods. We also listed the operation of various harvesters under different excitation types. At the same time, nonlinear energy harvesters with different structural characteristics are reviewed, the benefits of nonlinearity on energy harvesting are effectively collected, and the practical applications are summarized. Finally, current methods and mechanisms to improve the collection efficiency of energy harvesters are described and summarized. Briefly, this review introduces the research development of existing energy harvesting technologies, summarizes the technically difficult problems faced by piezoelectric energy harvesting technologies, and provides an outlook for future research and development trends of piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting technologies.

“…The Piezoelectric transduction mechanism of vibration energy harvesting have been widely studied and reported in literature [2,3,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Piezoelectric VEH is argued to have the advantages of maximum realisable power density, being easily implementable, and that it is easily fabricated since the external components required are not usually large [2]; this is against its electromagnetic and electrostatic transduction counterparts.…”

The issue of how to power the deployed Internet of Things (IoT) nodes with ubiquitous and long lasting energy in order to ensure uninterruptible optimisation of smart cities is of utmost concern. This among other challenges has continued to gear efforts toward energy harvesting research. With the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown that nearly paralysed activities of everyday living in many nations of the world, option of human remote interaction to enforce social distancing became imperative. Hence, the world is witnessing a renewed awareness of the importance of IoT devices, as integral components of smart city, especially for the essence of survival in the face of lockdown. Energy harvesting is a possible solution that could enable IoT nodes to scavenge self-sustaining energy from environmental ambient sources. In this paper, we have reviewed most sources within city that energy could be harvested from, as reported by researchers in literature. In addition, we have submitted that energy sources can be application specific, such that, since there are many free sources in the city as presented in this review, energy should be scavenged within close proximity of need for various IoT devices or wireless sensor networks (WSNs), for smart city automation.
