Multi-Source Energy Harvesting for Wireless IIoT Sensors

Wireless Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors support industrial digitalization but face adoption barriers due to limited battery life. Multi-source energy harvesting (MSEH) offers a potential solution. This thesis develops, tests, and validates a universal, flexible, and industry-ready power management board for vibration, thermal, and solar sources, to investigate whether MSEH can serve as a universal energy solution for wireless sensor deployment in industrial environments.
