Design for Innovative Value Towards a Sustainable Society

Abstract

The life cycle framework and flow charts for select of energy budget and battery parameters are proposed. The required battery capacity and charging circuit are arranged by local weather conditions. Then, the placement configuration is arranged based on physical structures. From the system reliability point of view, MTBF becomes shorter as the temperature increase. Avoiding high temperature situation can extend sensor node’s life. Green design considerations at early stage of system design are helpful to build a proper system framework and technology implemented.
