Energy Harvesting from Renewable Energy Sources

Abstract

Energy harvesting is systematic process and the main activity (solar energy harvesting, wind energy harvesting, ocean energy harvesting etc.) where a lot of energy is harvested and supplied to the main energy grid. Harvesting on the other hand means a bountiful process and systematic process and there is a major energy gain (100% activity). Energy harvesting technologies supply unlimited operating life of low-power equipment and even remove the need to replace batteries where it is costly, unfeasible, or unsafe. The performance of energy harvesting is fundamentally linked to the amount and nature of the source energy present in the environment. When designing an energy harvesting solution, knowledge of the application constraints and the details of the energy source have to be known in advance.
