Energy sources and power management

Powering sensors and edge devices reveal a significant problem. When we consider that sensors and edge devices number in the billions, and the fact they will be used in very remote areas, power becomes a challenge. Furthermore, there will be IoT deployments where sensors will be buried undersea, or embedded into concrete infrastructures, further complicating power sources. In this section, we will explore the concepts of energy harvesting and power management. Both are very important concepts in the overall IoT story.
