10.1 Introduction
Harvesting electrical energy from renewable sources i.e., thermal, solar, electromagnetics, kinetic, wind energy, acoustic noise, etc., is known as energy harvesting. Figure 10.1 illustrates different ambient sources along with their respective energy harvesting mechanisms. Over the past few years, energy harvesting has gained more attention because of the wide availability of the sources, the short time needed to replenish them, and the ability to self-start the system. A vast number of applications can be found in various domains [1], ...
