Energy Harvesting is a solution for continued operation of WSNs without depending on batteries. This paper introduces REAPer, an adaptive energy harvester for microsources that can be configured and monitored by the supplied WSN node. We combine REAPer with an IdealVolting capable sensor node that can fully exploit the monitoring and control capabilities of REAPer. The efficiency and overhead of the REAPer harvester is analysed. A field test evaluates REAPer with different power sources.
