摘要：In the digital transition era of scaling down from macro through micro turbine; to the setting up of Smart Turbine Energy Harvesters (STEH), this paper presents Project Management (PM) principles applicable and best practices to meet the increasing energy demand of digitised technology. The massive deployment of autonomous devices such as those for Internet of Things (IoT), for the support of smart cities, has necessitated more research about their energy demands. With the use of ‘waterfall’ Project Management Methodology (PMM), turbine grid-connected energy are classified into different categories, and comparative study is made between scaling down of turbine grid from macro to micro, to the economic impact of setting up of STEH. This study concludes by proposing the use of STEH, which is an onsite green energy harvesting scheme that is self-sustaining; ubiquitous; and long lasting; as preferable source to other categories of turbine grid system. Additionally, it is an improvement on energy harvesting (EH) mechanisms using battery; whose replacement and disposal are not economical. STEH is considered economical and time saving with little or no physical and investment risk attached, the Return on Investment (RI) is considered favourable. Also, the energy delivery is sufficient for the requirement of IoT and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).
