A Study of Various Simulator for an Energy-Neutral Operation of Internet of Things Nodes

Abstract

The eventual deployment of Internet of Things nodes infrastructure are likely to be equipped with energy harvester to extensively increase the lifetime and autonomy of the nodes. However, network lifetime is one of the captious concern in sensor nodes, as the availability of natural energy source is completely reliant on the geographical locations, especially when the sensors are deployed in remote and isolated areas such as arctic stations, where supplying the required energy is critical. The objective of this paper is to study the various extensive energy simulator using which the energy neutrality for the IoT nodes can be attained and to estimate the energy consumption and lifetime of the Internet of Things nodes.
