Summary
This book is the considered the first to describe sensor-oriented energyharvesting issues. Its content is derived from the author's research on the development of a truly self-autonomous and sustainable energyharvesting 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 energyharvesting (EH) systems and their respective main components.
