MICROPOWER ENERGY HARVESTING SYSTEMS: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

TITLE
MICROPOWER ENERGY HARVESTING SYSTEMS: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

AUTHOR(S)

ABSTRACT
Most of the review works on micropower energy harvesting systems concentrate on the energy harvesting device (transducer) while its integration with power management and energy storage systems is not further assessed. Therefore, this paper aims to give a complete overview of recent developments in self-sustainable systems concentrating on three fundamental types of ambient energy sources – piezoelectric, radiofrequency and thermoelectric sources. Relevant scientific works are reviewed in terms of transducer type, power management and energy storage in order to evaluate the system’s capabilities to meet the power demand of low power electronic devices such as wireless sensors, wearable electronics, biomedical devices, etc.
