Energy Harvesting Autonomous Sensor Systems - Design, Analysis, and Practical Implementation

This book is considered the first to describe sensor-oriented energy harvesting issues. Its content is derived from the author’s research on the development of a truly self-autonomous and sustainable energy harvesting wireless sensor network (EH-WSN). This network harvests energy from a variety of ambient energy sources and converts it into electrical energy to power batteries. The book discusses various types of energy harvesting (EH) systems and their respective main components.
