Self-Powered Systems: Energy Harvesting, Power Management, and Wireless Communications

Self-Powered Systems: Energy Harvesting, Power Management and Wireless Communication explains how ambient energy can power autonomous electronic and wireless systems. It compares major harvesting technologies and explains rectification, DC-to-DC conversion, maximum-power-point tracking, storage, cold start, and energy neutrality. The book also addresses intermittent computing, checkpointing, energy-aware scheduling, hardware-software co-design, and low-power communication including BLE, Zig...
