Recently, a plethora of promising green energy provisioning technologies has been discussed in the orientation of prolonging the lifetime of energy-limited devices (e.g., sensor nodes). Wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) have emerged among other fields that could greatly benefit from such technologies. Such an ad-hoc network comprises a base station(s) and multiple sensor nodes, which are primarily deployed in harsh environments, meeting the requirements of transmitting, receiving, collecting, and processing data. Unlike existing works, this survey paper focuses on energy provisioning technologies within the context of WRSNs by reviewing two interrelated domains. First, we introduce various energy provisioning techniques and their associated challenges, including conventional energy harvesting methods (e.g., solar, thermal, and mechanical). We highlight wireless power transfer (WPT) as …
