Abstract
Various energy harvesting systems have been proposed in the last years. The use of ambient energy, such as vibration energy, has evoked great interests. Most vibration-based converters generate the maximum power only when the generator is excited at its resonance frequency. To overcome this limitation, researchers focus on strategies for increasing the working bandwidth of an energy harvester. Due to the amount of different approaches for broadband energy harvesting, we suggest a categorization. This review presents a classification of the current techniques. Every technique has its own benefits and drawbacks and is suitable for different applications. This review presents the categorization and describes each conversion technique. Typical research approaches are shown to get a better understanding of the energy harvesting techniques. The advantages and drawbacks are presented, and the suitability is shown for each category.
