Abstract
Energy harvesting is the demand of present day wireless communication for improving the energy efficiency of a network and a way to green communication as well. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) suffer from energy depletion of nodes and energy harvesting is a promising solution to enhance the life-time of sensor nodes in the area having lesser human intervention. In this work, different energy harvesting techniques have been presented and electromagnetic-based energy harvester model is deployed with WSN to evaluate its performance. Low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy protocol has been used as a routing protocol for sensor nodes. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated with variation in hardware characteristics of energy harvester and analyzed for sensor characteristics such as the number of dead nodes, alive nodes as well. The energy harvester model and WSN have been implemented on the MATLAB platform.
