Improved the efficiency of IoT in agriculture by introduction optimum energy harvesting in WSN

Abstract

Internet of Things is the most effective area of research where sensor nodes and smart devices can collect the information from different sources and communicate it with the server without human involvement. In IoT, the main important concept is wireless sensor networks in which data is shared and communicate with the help of sensor nodes. These sensors nodes are distributed randomly in the specified area for collecting and sensing the information of different parameters. This network now a day's effectively used for advance agriculture monitoring and managing many applications automatically through the technology. Sensor nodes have limited energy or back up power so here we use the concept of energy harvesting. These sensor nodes will charge by solar energy and used to monitor the crop management, water management, pesticide monitoring, and climate monitoring. In this paper an IoT based wireless sensor system is proposed which uses the concept of energy harvesting in the area of agriculture for developing, monitoring and controlling the growth and productivity of the system.
