Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are the fundamental building blocks of today's contemporary Internet of Things, with applications ranging from smart agriculture to smart cities to online industrial monitoring. The battery energy of WSN nodes is restricted, which is a key design restriction. The objectives of this paper are to use a solar energy harvesting technology to extend the lifetime of a WSN network. An iterative re-enactment was performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK for solar powered DC-DC converters with Maximum Control Point Tracking (MPPT) to attain ideal results. From the re-enactment results, it is proved that our outlined solar energy harvesting system has accomplished 98% proficiency.
