Abstract
We present the design and evaluation of a capacitor-driven efficient renewable energy management and sharing system, called REMS system, that is designed to replace battery-based energy storage units. We first identify potential applications and requirements of the REMS system.
Then we describe the design of REMS system which aims
at minimizing the energy leaked away and providing accurate
and fine-grained energy sharing between embedded devices.
We extensively evaluate our system under different real-world
settings. Results indicate that our charging and discharging control
can effectively minimize the energy leaked away. Moreover, the
energy sharing design can efficiently share renewable energy
among multiple devices and significantly extend the lifetime of a
system.
