“…Solar energy is also a less attractive source of energy for small form-factor devices, although dedicated implementations of PV solutions for IoT nodes have been reported [ 66 ]. A solar energy harvesting system generally consists of a combination of a solar panel, an Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) implementation and a DC/DC converter [ 72 ] to charge a battery. Infrared radiation is an energy harvesting method that powers mostly bio-implantable devices [ 73 ], where an external source is used to supply the infrared radiation.…”

Long-range wireless connectivity technologies for sensors and actuators open the door for a variety of new Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These technologies can be deployed to establish new monitoring capabilities and enhance efficiency of services in a rich diversity of domains. Low energy consumption is essential to enable battery-powered IoT nodes with a long autonomy. This paper explains the challenges posed by combining low-power and long-range connectivity. An energy breakdown demonstrates the dominance of transmit and sleep energy. The principles for achieving both low-power and wide-area are outlined, and the landscape of available networking technologies that are suited to connect remote IoT nodes is sketched. The typical anatomy of such a node is presented, and the subsystems are zoomed into. The art of designing remote IoT devices requires an application-oriented approach, where a meticulous design and smart operation are essential to grant a long battery life. In particular we demonstrate the importance of strategies such as “think before you talk” and “race to sleep”. As maintenance of IoT nodes is often cumbersome due to being deployed at hard to reach places, extending the battery life of these devices is critical. Moreover, the environmental impact of batteries further demonstrates the need for a longer battery life in order to reduce the number of batteries used.

“…An interesting comparison of the converter topologies (LDO, capacitive-based, and inductive converters) used for solar energy harvesting is discussed in [41]. Here, the comparison parameters are listed in Table 2, for the sake of completeness: the comparison highlights, between the others, terms like integrability and cost, which are very important in IoT applications.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) has found application in many components of implantable medical devices, wearable smart devices, monitoring systems, etc. The IoT devices are conventionally battery powered, even though, in several low power applications, they can also be powered using energy harvesting technology. Independently of the power sources (if batteries or environment), efficient and robust power converters must be designed to provide the small and distributed energy required by such IoT devices. This review paper will first provide an overview about the power consumption in IoT devices; second, it will discuss the most recent research and advance in the field of fully-integrated or embedded DC/DC converters, starting from high-performance integrated charge pumps or embedded inductive boost converters for specific harvesting sources (temperature, solar, and so on), to novel DC/DC converters for multiple energy sources.
