Abstract
Industrial wireless sensor networks enable real-time data collection, analysis, and control by interconnecting diverse industrial devices. In these industrial settings, power outlets are not always available, and reliance on battery power can be impractical due to the need for frequent battery replacement or stringent safety regulations. Battery-less energy harvesters present a suitable alternative for powering these devices. However, these energy harvesters, equipped with supercapacitors instead of batteries, suffer from intermittent on-off behavior due to their limited energy storage capacity. As a result, they struggle with extended or frequent energy-consuming phases of multi-hop network formation, such as network joining and synchronization. To address these challenges, our work proposes three strategies for integrating battery-less energy harvesting devices into industrial multi-hop wireless sensor networks. In contrast to other works, our work prioritizes the mitigation of intermittency-related issues, rather than focusing solely on average energy consumption, as is typically the case with battery-powered devices. For each of the proposed strategies, we provide an in-depth discussion of their suitability based on several critical factors, including the type of energy source, storage capacity, device mobility, latency, and reliability.
