Wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) are widely used in the field of environmental detection; however, they face serious power supply problems caused by the complexity of the environmental layout. In this study, a new ultra-low-power hybrid energy harvesting (HEH) system for two types of microenergy collection (photovoltaic (PV) and soil-temperature-difference thermoelectric (TE)) was designed to provide stable power to WSNs. The power supply capabilities of two microenergy sources were assessed by analyzing the electrical characteristics and performing continuous energy data collection. The HEH system consisted of two separated power converters and an electronic multiplexer circuit to avoid impedance mismatch and improve efficiency. The feasibility of the self-powered HEH system was verified by consumption analysis of the HEH system, the WSNs, and the data analysis of the collected microenergy. Taking the summation of PV and TEG input power of 1.26 mW (PPV:PTEG was about 3:1) as an example, the power loss of the HEH system accounted for 33.8% of the total input power. Furthermore, the ratio decreased as the value of the input power increased.

Uninterrupted power supply through electrical grid is not possible for many remote areas like dense forest, hill areas, and deserts. The objective of the proposed work is to generate stand alone electricity using steam powered gravity assisted SP system for remote WSN applications. The proposed design drives the generator by triggering gravity force using steam powered cylinders with high thermal efficiency. The proposed SP system is used to recharge the battery systems of UAVs in remote sites thereby the UAVs are further used to recharge the remote wireless sensor nodes using laser beam transmissions.

In the wireless sensor nodes integrated with the solar PV micro-power supply, the solar energy conversion efficiency and utilization efficiency directly determine working life and stability of the wireless sensor nodes. Thus, a novel solar PV micro-power supply is designed which four solar cell arrays with same open voltage are designed and they are placed in top and three sides of the wireless sensor nodes. Simultaneous, the optimal voltage control technology is used to control work voltage of four solar cell arrays in the design. In addition, the prototype of wireless sensor node integrated with the solar PV micro-power supply is done. Moreover, the working characteristics of the prototype are tested in natural condition. The working voltages of four solar cell arrays are controlled in range of optimal voltage, and the solar cell arrays have high conversion efficiency. The output energy of system is increased about 50% by adding side solar cell arrays.
