These nodes, offering distinct advantages over low-power wireless communication technologies, often face challenges related to the consumption of higher peak current during data transmission, leading to battery capacity degradation and reduced lifespan.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The outcome of this work has been patented in the Indian Patent no. 499034, co-authored by Dr. Satvasheel Ramesh Powar, Associate Professor, School of Engineering, and Dr. Tushar Jain, Associate Professor, School of Computing and Electrical Engineering, along with Mr. Vikrant Duhan, Research Scholar, from IIT Mandi.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The proposed power management unit is a novel design specifically tailored for applications that necessitate frequent data transmission. A key feature of this innovative architecture is the implementation of battery-supercapacitor hybrid storage to maximize battery life.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0The Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) ensures efficient energy routing, allowing the system to operate optimally under varying external conditions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Giving information about the developed technology, Dr. Satvasheel Ramesh Powar, Associate Professor, School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, IIT Mandi said, \u201cOur power management system is designed for wireless sensor nodes powered by solar. It uses solar panels, batteries, and supercapacitors for power and has an MPPT controller. It optimizes node energy distribution for performance and longevity.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;This power management system\u00a0maximizes solar panel efficiency and battery longevity and\u00a0lowers network costs. This power management system has multiple use cases in Wireless sensor nodes used for Environmental Monitoring, Precision Agriculture, smart cities, disaster management, and industrial IoT\u201d he remarked.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The hybrid storage system integrates a supercapacitor to alleviate the battery from frequently occurring peak current, a common factor in degradation. This pioneering approach ensures that battery charge and discharge are free from intermittent peaks, preventing the acceleration of capacity degradation and ultimately extending the cycle life&#8221; he added.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Talking about the patent granted, Dr. Tushar Jain, Associate Professor, School of Computing &amp; Electrical Engineering, IIT Mandi, said, \u201cIn this patent, we have developed a hybrid technology to power the sensor node such that the battery life can be increased, where frequent data transmission is required. This product utilises a supercapacitor-battery hybrid storage scheme, which provides the required peak current during the data transmission, sufficient enough to fulfil the heavy load requirement.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;We introduced a novel drip charge controller that works in sync with the sleep period and the active period of the sensor node. The performance of the developed power management unit is successfully tested and validated experimentally for indoor and outdoor applications\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;This controller, coupled with the supercapacitor, provides the necessary peak current during data transmission when power from Photovoltaic (PV) sources is not available&#8221; said Dr. Tushar.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Simulation and experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed design, showcasing its ability to prevent intermittent peaks and mitigate capacity degradation acceleration. This achievement is a significant stride towards optimizing the efficiency and lifespan of direct cloud-enabled sensor nodes, making them more resilient and sustainable in real-world applications&#8221; he remarked.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;At IIT Mandi, we plan to use this patented technology in various ongoing projects, namely agriculture automation, robotics and drones, etc. This technology shall be further developed to make it low-cost so that it can be deployed in farmers&#8217; fields for better crop production and disease detection management&#8221; he added.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IIT Mandi Innovators Secure Patent for Groundbreaking Power Management System in Cloud-Enabled Nodes.
