“…It is the most convenient energy source for environmental monitoring applications [15]. While Heliomote uses batteries for its energy storage, there are prominent examples of EHS architectures using DLCs like Everlast [16] and AmbiMax [17] and even specific approaches exploring different DLC storage architectures [18].…”

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) motes are devices of small form factor. They are tailored to cost-effectiveness for monitoring and control applications. Different optimizations exist for the robust lifetime improvement of such devices, but the community still lacks a clear approach of how to achieve a robust system design that is of low cost and implements low-power optimizations. In particular, it is a demanding task to efficiently utilize energy harvesting system (EHS) technology for WSNs. However, that is the only way for implementing battery-free mote devices for achieving perpetual operation of WSNs. We demonstrate the design methodology that let us implement RiverMote. RiverMote is a case study for designing a low cost hardware system architecture combining low-power mote and a highly efficient EHS architecture. First, we provide a detailed explanation for how to deduce the prototype dimensioning parameters given the application requirements of an energy-autarkic river level monitoring system. Then we show how to select proper energy harvesting device (EHD) technologies and design all EHS stages for fitting the application-depending power state model of the integrated mote. Finally, we implement and evaluate tests of all stages for their energy efficiency as well as RiverMote’s self-measurement accuracy which is crucial for robust perpetual designs.

“…Therefore, the operational time of the devices can be increased significantly. However, the harvestable electrical power of the environment is highly variable [4] and [5]. Therefore, an energy storage is needed to provide a continuous supply of the wireless sensor node.…”

Several choices have to be made during the design process of active tag based systems. Since the number of properties that must be decided before production and wide-scale deployment is relatively high, the use of real experiments in the design phase may be prohibitive. We propose the use of emulation for performing large-scale experiments with active tag based systems easily and in a repeatable manner. Such experiments can be used to validate the behavior of the system, and to decide the values for various system parameters. We illustrate this approach by experimental results obtained with an emulation framework that we designed and implemented for a pedestrian localization active tag based system.
