Energy Harvesting Systems seek to remove the batteries from electronic devices and replace them with devices that generate directly from the environment around them. This paper presents an intelligent algorithm to manage received wireless power to do useful work even though there is insufficient energy to do the work directly. The example ultralow power microcontroller discussed here is the ATtiny85 although the approach is applicable to a whole family of similar micros. The algorithm used makes intelligent decisions whether to sleep or wake according to the amount of received and stored energy. Using an adaptive strategy of this kind the amount of work can be precisely matched to the resources available to achieve maximum utilization with the objective of keeping the device alive for as long as possible subject to the satisfactory completion of a stated set of tasks.

能量收集系统试图从电子设备中取出电池，并用直接从其周围环境中产生的设备替换它们。本文提出了一种智能算法，即使没有足够的能量直接进行工作，也可以管理接收到的无线电力来完成有用的工作。这里讨论的示例超低功耗微控制器是ATtiny85，尽管该方法适用于整个相似的微控制器系列。所使用的算法根据接收和存储的能量量做出明智的决定，让其进入睡眠或唤醒状态。
