This paper presents the design of a universal energy module for wireless sensor nodes, which supports a wide range of energy harvesters and energy storages. The focus is on the efficient conversion and storage of energy and to provide hardware support for higher level management functions. The module facilitates maximum power point tracking to improve the harvester efficiency. By supporting hybrid harvesters, the module can make better use of the time-dependent availability of environmental energy sources.
