Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Researchers and the industrial communities have been increasingly focusing on the renewable energy field in recent decades, therefore integrating the variety of optimization technologies mainly based on improvements through mechanical engineering and physics. However, new renewable energy strategies inspired by other areas of research are being implemented due to the continuing need for energy efficiency, productivity, and profitability. The combination of sensors and data analysis can optimize the management of the renewable energy resources, due to the use of the Internet of Things (IoT), which has been recently proven.

Indeed, the energy efficiency can be optimized using IoT-based renewable energy systems which facilitate the communication between renewable energy devices. For example, the energy regeneration source can be switched from solar to wind turbine on a particularly cloudy day with a lot of wind. On the other hand, the IoT analytics significantly influences the renewable energies. As an example, data extraction from the solar panels allows the maintenance process to be sped up and the downtime to be reduced.

The aim of this Special Issue (SI) is to address both innovative developments resorting to the state-of-the-art technologies and ideas in areas related to the application of Internet of Things to renewable energy optimization. This SI seeks the latest findings from research and ongoing projects relevant to IoT smart applications for energy conservation.

Selected authors from the IAPE’19 conference will be invited to submit their papers to the SI. We also strongly encourage researchers that are unable to participate in the conference to submit articles to the SI.

Due to the advancement of information and communication technologies, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has increased exponentially. In the development of IoT, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) perform a vital part and comprises of low-cost smart devices for information gathering. However, such smart devices have constraints in terms of computation, processing, memory and energy resources. Along with such constraints, one of the fundamental challenges for WSN is to achieve reliability with the security of transmitted data in a vulnerable environment against malicious nodes. This paper aims to develop an energy-efficient and secure routing protocol (ESR) for intrusion avoidance in IoT based on WSN to increase the network period and data trustworthiness. Firstly, the proposed protocol creates different energy-efficient clusters based on the intrinsic qualities of nodes. Secondly, based on the (k,n) threshold-based Shamir secret sharing scheme, the reliability and security of the sensory information among the base station (BS) and cluster head are achieved. The proposed security scheme presents a light-weight solution to cope with intrusions generated by malicious nodes. The experimental results using the network simulator (NS-2) demonstrate that the proposed routing protocol achieved improvement in terms of network lifetime as 37%, average end-to-end delay as 24%, packet delivery ratio as 30%, average communication cost as 29%, network overhead as 28% and the frequency of route re-discoveries as 38% when compared with the existing work under dynamic network topologies.

Efficient and cost effective ways of irrigation have emerged as the need of the hour due to limited sweet water resources, especially the countries that are seriously hit by a lack of sweet water reservoirs. The majority of the water is wasted due to inefficient ways of watering plants. In this paper, we propose an intelligent approach for efficient plant irrigation that has a database of daily water needs of a type of plant and decides the amount of water for a plant type on the basis of the current moisture in soil, humidity, and time of the day. This approach not only saves sweet water by efficient utilization, but also supports smart consumption of energy. Our approach employs IoT and a set of sensors to efficiently record plant data and their watering needs and the approach is implemented with a mobile phone application interface that is used to continuously monitor and control the efficient watering system. The results of this study are easy to reproduce as the sensors used are cheap and easy to access. The study discusses in this paper is experimented on small area (such as tunnel farm) but the results of the experiments show that the used approach can be generalized and can be used for large size fields for efficient irrigation. The results of the experiments also outperform the manual approach and the similar approaches for sensor based irrigation systems. Full article
