Optimized Dual-Battery System with Intelligent Auto-Switching for Reliable Soil Nutrient Monitoring in Remote IoT Applications by Doan Perdana, Pascal Lorenz, Bagus Aditya

“…Implementing the DLB–PAO algorithm elevates the average reliability to 91.7% over 120 h, whereas the DLB–GA algorithm achieves near-perfect reliability (99.9%) for over 170 h, exhibiting minimal variability (standard deviation: 0.9%). The integration of intelligent auto-switching mechanisms and metaheuristic optimisation algorithms demonstrates a marked enhancement in both reliability and energy efficiency for soil nutrient monitoring systems. …”
