Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) infrastructures are becoming more and more available and diffused. One major outcome is the development of new services that help to make everyday life easier and better. One of those to which thi ...
The purpose of this research has a background in the market for Internet of Things (IoT)devices and wireless sensor networks. The Market Forecast predicts the connection of a trillion"things" by 2025. The global smart sensor market size trend grows from US ...
This contribution proposes the study of an ‘On-Line’ UPS, where adaptations have been made to replace the initial batteries with supercapacitors. As the electrical behavior of supercapacitors is different from that one of lead-acid batteries, a power elect ...
An increasing recourse to renewable energies is one of the key solutions to address the current resource and environmental concerns related to the world energy supply. Because of the distributed and intermittent nature of several of them (Solar, Wind), an ...
This paper presents hybrid energy storage systems based on hydro-pneumatics and Supercapacitors with high potentials regarding life cycle and impacts on environment. These so called “Batteries with Oil-hydraulics and Pneumatics (BOP)” systems exploit the h ...
Supercapacitors are new and powerful components for energy storage. Compared with batteries, the amount of energy they can store is low. But, as power sources they have the property to be re-loadable in a few seconds [1][2][3]. In that case, the needed ins ...
It is often challenging to manage the battery supply when dealing with a fleet of mobile robots during long experiments. If one uses classical recharge stations, then agents are immobilized during the whole recharge process. In this study, we present a nov ...
