Energy harvesting is an important pillar for large scale exploitation of IoT smart nodes and wearable devices. To this end, DC-DC converters with ultra-low start-up voltage, full integration and high efficiency in a wide input voltage range are required. In this paper a novel one-input, two-output DC-DC converter circuit is introduced. Low-power output provides 0.8-3.5 V with maximum load current of 3.5 mu A starting up from 98 mV input. High-power output is turned on by an ultra-low-power voltage detector when input voltage reaches 150 mV, to provide 0.8-2.4 V with maximum load current of 200 mu A. The circuit has been implemented in UMC 180-nm CMOS technology. Maximum simulated system efficiency is 34% at 0.2 V input. Low-power output meets the real time power demand of sensing, data processing and data storage blocks of IoT/Wearable devices, while high-power output provides sufficient power for data transmission, enabling batteryless operation.

Fully autonomous interface circuit for thermoelectric energy harvesting in wearable and IoT applications Hamed, Osouli Tabrizi; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2018-9) IoT and wearable electronics are building blocks of the current and future monitoring technologies with numerous applications such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, healthcare, transportation and logistics, and smart buildings. Powering the IoT smart nodes is costly due to the existence of billions of these nodes in the technology roadmaps, and is not environmental friendly due to the use of chemical batteries with toxic substances. Eliminating batteries is therefore highly desirable. Full...
Finite-Horizon Online Transmission Scheduling on an Energy Harvesting Communication Link with a Discrete Set of Rates BACINOĞLU, BARAN TAN; Uysal, Elif (2014-06-01) As energy harvesting communication systems emerge, there is a need for transmission schemes that dynamically adapt to the energy harvesting process. In this paper, after exhibiting a finite-horizon online throughput-maximizing scheduling problem formulation and the structure of its optimal solution within a dynamic programming formulation, a low complexity online scheduling policy is proposed. The policy exploits the existence of thresholds for choosing rate and power levels as a function of stored energy, ...
Smart Residence Management System RMS with Personalized Comfort Ay, Meral Başak; Gökalp, Ebru; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Tanyer, Ali Murat (2016-10-31) The built environment is undergoing a significant evolution, enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. IoT offers some far-reaching opportunities with the help of cloud computing to exploit technological advances for the benefit of the users, society, and the environment. Technological advances in IoT makes it easier to monitor and manage environments around us. Also, increasing control over lighting/daylighting amount, fresh air ventilation rate, temperature, noise level and humidity level increase ...
Joint Virtual Machine Embedding and Wireless Data Center Topology Management Bütün, Beyza; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-5-10) With emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things and 5G, generated data grows enormously. Hence, Data Center Networks (DCNs) have an important duty to store and process a significant amount of data, which makes them a critical component of the network. To meet the massive amount of traffic demands, wired DCNs need to deploy large numbers of servers and power-hungry switches, and huge lengths of wires. An enormous increase in the usage of cables causes high cabling complexity and cost while deployin...
Study Case of Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic Heat Pump System for Different Cities in Turkey Moia-Pol, Andreu; Pujol-Nadal, Ramon; Martinez-Moll, Victor; Bonyadi, Nima; Baker, Derek (2016-10-14) The combination of solar thermal, photovoltaic, and heat pump technologies is a welcome advancement in countries with large solar resources such as Turkey. These systems could have similar efficiencies throughout the year for different locations in Turkey if we adjust the solar storage according to the weather conditions. In this paper, solar heating with a heat pump system for buildings have been designed to achieve different values of the fraction of primary energy saved using Flat Plate Collectors (FPC) ...
