Abstract
The goal of this paper is to review current methods of energy harvesting, while focusing on piezoelectric energy harvesting. The piezoelectric energy harvesting technique is based on the materials’ property of generating an electric field when a mechanical force is applied. This phenomenon is known as the direct piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric transducers can be of different shapes and materials, making them suitable for a multitude of applications. To optimize the use of piezoelectric devices in applications, a model is needed to observe the behavior in the time and frequency domain. In addition to different aspects of piezoelectric modeling, this paper also presents several circuits used to maximize the energy harvested.
Highlights
Wireless technologies and microelectronics have led to the development of wearable devices, such as items of clothing and accessories, in which power is supplied either by batteries or energy harvesting devices [1]
In conjunction with these approaches is the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), where wireless sensors networks are commonly used [2]
The development of the Internet of Things concept, wearables devices, and wireless technologies has led to the need for self-powered systems due to the inaccessibility of batteries for changing
Summary
Wireless technologies and microelectronics have led to the development of wearable devices, such as items of clothing and accessories, in which power is supplied either by batteries or energy harvesting devices [1]. In conjunction with these approaches is the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), where wireless sensors networks are commonly used [2]. Is energy harvesting in sustaining self-powered systems necessary as a feasible and economically practical alternative to batteries, it reduces the danger of greenhouse gas emission and sustains the environment [5]. An energy harvesting system has three parts [6]:
