Abstract
There is a big challenge for research and industrial engineers to
apply energy harvesting powered wireless sensors for practical
applications. This is because wireless sensors is very power hungry while
current energy harvesting systems can only harvest very limited
energy from the ambient environment. In order for wireless sensors to
be operated based on the limited energy harvested, understanding
of power consumption of wireless sensors energy is the first task for
implementation of energy harvesting powered wireless sensors
systems. In this research the power consumption in the life cycle of
wireless communication sensors, consisting of JN5148 microcontroller
and custom built sensors: a 3-axial accelerometer, a temperature sensor
and a light sensor, has been studied. All measurements are based on a
custom built test bed. The power required to carry out a life cycle of
wireless sensing and transmission is analysed. This paper describes how to
analyse the current consumption of the system in active mode and
thus power Consumption for sleeping and deployed sensors mode. The
results show how much energy needs to run the energy harvesting
powered wireless sensor node with JN5148 microcontroller.
