Abstract


The article gives an overview of the problems and solutions related to energy harvesting systems used for power supply of low power electronics systems. Power density is the main parameter describing the efficiency of energy harvesting systems. Piezoelectric energy harvesting systems demonstrate a high value of power density, and therefore the article presents an overview of piezoelectric energy harvesting systems and their components. Also, a summary of the terms that affect the efficiency of piezoelectric energy harvesting systems has been presented.
