Energy Harvesting Techniques for Sustainable Embedded Systems: Design and Applications

Abstract

The realm of embedded systems is undergoing a radically different transfor
mation with the common emerging technologies of energy harvesting. With 
the growing demand for self sustaining, lasting devices, engineers and de
signers are looking to inventive ways to power these systems without relying 
on traditional energy sources. This paradigm shift is enabling applications in 
the remote sensing, wearable technology as well as Internet of Things (IoT) 
devices. Basically, you take energy from around you and convert it into elec
trical energy. This is not only an environmentally friendly and economically 
viable approach to lengthen the operational lifespan of embedded system 
but also to reduce the cost of battery replacement and maintenance. Look 
forward to us delving further into this exciting and interesting space as we 
explore the many techniques, design considerations and real world applica
tions playing a part in creating this sustainable embedded systems future.
