Improved Design of Energy Supply Unit of WSN Node Based on Boost and BUCK Structure

The energy supply unit of WSN node based on solar cell-powered outdoor environment monitoring needs storage battery for energy buffering,thus resulting in the distribution balance problem among solar battery,storage battery charge and discharge,and load energy consumption power.Based on the analysis of sensor network characteristics and node composition,the overall design of energy supply unit of wireless sensor network node on the basis of self-harvesting solar energy is carried out in this paper.At the same time,the improved circuit structure based on Boost and BUCK structure was designed,the working mode and energy distribution mode of the circuit were analyzed,and the circuit and control flow were comprehensively analyzed.In order to verify the energy distribution,experiments were implemented for test.The results of compensating the conversion efficiency of the power converter show that the energy distribution efficiency is significantly improved.

Advances in the development of power supplies for the Internet of Everything

The Internet of Everything(IoE),which aims to realize information exchange and communications for anything with the Internet,has revolutionized our modern world.Serving as the driving force for devices in the IoE network,power supply systems play a fundamental role in the development of the IoE.However,due to the complexity,multifunctionality and wide-scale deployment of diverse applications,power supply systems face great challenges,including distribution,connection,charging technologies,and management.In this review,some challenges and advances in the development of both power supply systems and their units are presented.In the overall system-level field,establishing sustainable and maintenancefree power supply systems through wireless connections,efficient power management and integrated energy harvesting and storage systems is highlighted.Additionally,the main performance metrics of power supply units are discussed,including energy density,service life,and self-power ability.In addition,some directions of power quality assessment for both the system and unit levels of power supply systems are presented,aiming to provide insight into the future development of high-performance power supply systems for the IoE.

Design of Multi-Coil Wireless Power Transfer System for Gastrointestinal Capsule Robot

The existing wireless power transfer(WPT)systems for gastrointestinal capsule robot have the prob-lems of small coupling coefficient and low power transmission efficiency(PTE).The reasons are due to the long distance between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil and the large difference in size.A new type of WPT system is designed,which uses three sets of small coil pairs to form a power supply unit(PSU),and utilizes multiple PSUs to form a multi-coil WPT system.Compared with single-coil system,the multi-coil system can achieve higher power utilization by switching between PSUs,instead of opening all PSUs.ANSYS Maxwell is used to perform finite element modeling on the PSU,analyzing the characteristics of the transmitting magnetic field.The results of the experiment show that when the distance between the small coil pairs in the PSU is 180mm,the magnetic field has relatively good uniformity,and the magnetic strength change relative to the center point is less than 5%.The average received power of the system is greater than 800mW,and the PTE is up to 5.1%.
