Abstract

In this chapter, common energy harvesting sources are discussed, namely thermoelectric generators, piezoelectric harvester, RF harvesting, and solar. The operating principle of each energy source is explained in detail, along with the electrical model for each which is essential for designing the interface circuits. Further, different power conversion circuits are presented that are commonly used in energy harvesting application. This includes linear drop out regulator, switch capacitor circuits, and inductor-based converters.
