太阳能收集为能量有限的无线传感器网络 (WSN) 节点提供替代电源，这完全是一个新想法。芬兰、墨西哥、中国和美国等几个发达国家正在努力研究，为可再生能源收集应用中的挑战提供设计解决方案。适当连接到低功率能量收集器电路和可充电电池的小尺寸太阳能电池板提供了使 WSN 节点完全自供电并具有无限网络寿命的织机。可再生能源收集技术的最新进展促使研究人员和公司为传统电池供电的 WSN 设计和创新新型能量收集电路，例如德州仪器 (TI) 超低能量收集器和电源管理 IC bq25505 [有关具有电池管理功能的德州仪器 (TI) 超低功耗升压充电器 IC bq25505，请参阅 https://store.ti.com/BQ25505 和用于能量采集器应用中主电池的自主电源多路复用器数据表 (2015)。]。如今，物联网应用（例如通过互联网对工业厂房进行温度监控、智能家居自动化和智能城市）对智能自主传感器节点的需求不断增长，需要研究人员和设计工程师对太阳能收集 WSN (SEH-WSN) 的最新技术进行详细的文献调查。因此，我们对太阳能电池效率、DC-DC 电源转换器、最大功率点跟踪算法、太阳能预测算法、微控制器、储能（电池/超级电容器）以及 SEH-WSN 的各种设计成本进行了深入的文献综述。据我们所知，这是第一个关于 SEH-WSN 的综合文献调查。由 AIP 出版社出版。
Solar energy harvesting that provides an alternative power source for an energy-constrained wireless sensor network (WSN) node is completely a new idea. Several developed countries like Finland, Mexico, China, and the USA are making research efforts to provide design solutions for challenges in renewable energy harvesting applications. The small size solar panels suitably connected to low-power energy harvester circuits and rechargeable batteries provide a loom to make the WSN nodes completely self-powered with an infinite network lifetime. Recent advancements in renewable energy harvesting technologies have led the researchers and companies to design and innovate novel energy harvesting circuits for traditional battery powered WSNs, such as Texas Instruments Ultra Low Energy Harvester and Power Management IC bq25505 [see https://store.ti.com/BQ25505 for Texas Instruments (TI) Ultra Low Power Boost Charger IC bq25505 with Battery Management and Autonomous Power Multiplexor for Primary Battery in Energy Harvester Applications datasheets (2015).]. In modern days, the increasing demand of smart autonomous sensor nodes in the Internet of Things applications (like temperature monitoring of an industrial plant over the internet, smart home automation, and smart cities) requires a detailed literature survey of state of the art in solar energy harvesting WSN (SEH-WSN) for researchers and design engineers. Therefore, we present an in-depth literature review of Solar cell efficiency, DC-DC power converters, Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithms, solar energy prediction algorithms, microcontrollers, energy storage (battery/supercapacitor), and various design costs for SEH-WSNs. As per our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive literature survey of SEH-WSNs. Published by AIP Publishing.
