能量收集是从环境中捕获能量（通常是太阳能或热能）为小型电子设备供电的过程。可用能量通常在空间和时间上存在变化，这使得发电潜力难以估计。在本文中，我们介绍了 Enspect：一个完整的工具，包括收集真实环境数据的便携式记录仪和模拟该应用中能量收集系统性能的分析软件。它允许选择和交换组件，并对长期系统行为进行建模。它已通过光伏和热电设备进行了演示，但其模块化设计意味着它可以扩展到包括其他收集类型。
Energy harvesting is the process by which energy (often solar or thermal) is captured from the environment to power small electronic devices. The available energy is often spatially and temporally variant, which makes the potential for power generation difficult to estimate. In this paper we present Enspect: a complete tool which comprises a portable logger that collects real environmental data, and analysis software which models the performance of energy harvesting systems in that application. It enables components to be chosen and exchanged, and models long-term system behavior. It has been demonstrated with photovoltaic and thermoelectric devices, but its modular design means that it can be expanded to include other harvesting types.
