Abstract
One aspect of electronic sensors deployed in the field that is quite difficult to deal with is that of power management. Sensors obviously need electrical power to operate, but it is usually impractical to run long power cables out to the sensor’s location. Often, there isn’t even a power grid to connect up to. This leaves relatively few practical options.
