Energy Harvesting Systems: Principles, Modeling and Applications

摘要: Kinetic energy harvesting converts movement or vibrations into electrical energy, enables battery free operation of wireless sensors and autonomous devices facilitates their placement in locations where replacing a is not feasible attractive. This book provides an introduction to operating principles design methods modern kinetic systems explains the implications harvested power on electronic design. It describes conditioning circuits that maximize available strategies minimize consumption enable operation. The discussed will be supported by real case studies such as battery-less monitoring at water waste processing plants, embedded automotive electronics sensor-networks built with ultra-low nodes suitable for applications.
