Abstract

This chapter introduces energy harvesting for wireless sensor networks. Mobile sensor nodes located at remote locations require power which can be provided through available renewable energy. State-of-the-art technologies used for energy harvesting in WSNs have been presented to understand the amount of power required by the sensor nodes and the energy source suitable to power them. Vibration energy harvesting and its transduction mechanisms, i.e., electromagnetic, capacitive and piezoelectric, used to scavenge vibration energy that can be realized in MEMS technology are discussed.
