Robust Approach for Energy Harvesting for Low Power Devices using Simulink Model

Abstract

In the recent years, obtaining a sustainable form of energy to power various autonomous wireless & portable devices is increasingly becoming a matter of concern & various alternate sources of energy have been explored. The concept of power harvesting works towards developing self-powered devices that do not require replaceable power supplies. This paper depicts energy harvesting system by utilizing different energy renewable resources like solar energy, wind energy, thermoelectric and piezoelectric. This small integrated system designed in Matlab Simulink environment and model is capable to deliver energy to low power devices in all circumstances.
