Abstract

The deployment of Internet of things (IoT) networks powered by renewable energy sources presents unique challenges in balancing security requirements, energy efficiency, and communication reliability. This paper presents a comprehensive multiobjective optimization framework for secure renewable energy IoT nodes that addresses fundamental trade-offs between these competing objectives. We develop a mathematical model incorporating energy harvesting dynamics, security protocols, and communication performance metrics across various environmental scenarios. The proposed framework employs a modified NSGA-II algorithm to identify Pareto-optimal configurations for different deployment contexts. Through extensive simulation analysis, we demonstrate that hybrid energy sources (solar-wind combinations) with lightweight security protocols achieve optimal balance across performance metrics. The results show that each security level increment reduces energy efficiency by approximately 7.5%, while hybrid configurations maintain 15-20% higher reliability compared to single-source alternatives across varied environmental conditions. The framework provides practical guidelines for IoT deployment strategies in sustainable applications.
