In this review, we focus on portable and wearable self-powered systems, starting with typical energy harvesting technology, and introduce portable and wearable self-powered systems with
What is micro energy harvesting?
Micro Energy Harvesting is the name of the seminal field of research to which Professor Peter Woias, holder of the professorship for the design of microsystems at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Freiburg, dedicates a good part of his work.
What is energy harvesting?
Energy harvesting is the basis of a self-powered system. Additionally, for consideration of convenience and environmental protection, we need sustainable, clean, and renewable energy to power portable and wearable devices.
What is photovoltaic energy harvesting?
A brief description of the scientific principles, typical application, commercial success, and future prospects is discussed. The paper concludes that photovoltaic energy harvesting is the most commercially successful energy harvesting technology to date, partly due to its high efficiency and power density.
Are energy harvesting microdevices effective?
The methodological performance analysis presented in this review indicates positive responses for all the four types of energy harvesting microdevices. They use reliable ambient energy sources and simple operating mechanisms, achieve faster energy transduction, having good life-times and embedding abilities, and are smaller in size.
What is the future of energy harvesting?
In future, it is likely that a greater focus will be placed on the integration of these different energy harvesting techniques into one overall system, taking advantage of the individual strengths of each technique.
