Energy Harvesting for Self-Powered Wearable Devices

Download or read book Energy Harvesting for Self-Powered Wearable Devices written by Mohammad Alhawari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the design and implementation of energy harvesting systems targeting wearable devices. The authors describe in detail the different energy harvesting sources that can be utilized for powering low-power devices in general, focusing on the best candidates for wearable applications. Coverage also includes state-of-the-art interface circuits, which can be used to accept energy from harvesters and deliver it to a device in the most efficient way. Finally, the authors present power management circuits for using multiple energy harvesting sources at the same time to power devices and to enhance efficiency of the system.
