Synopsis

This book provides readers with an overview of kinetic energy harvesting systems, their applications, and a detailed discussion of circuit design of variable-capacitance electrostatic harvesters. The authors describe challenges that need to be overcome when designing miniaturized kinetic energy harvesting systems, along with practical design considerations demonstrated through case studies of developing electrostatic energy harvesting systems.

The book also,

• Discusses the subject of Miniaturized Variable-Capacitance Electrostatic Energy Harvesters from both a theoretical and practical/experimental point of view.
• Describes detailed circuit designs for developing miniaturized electrostatic harvesters.
• Includes a comprehensive comparison framework for evaluating electrostatic harvesters, enabling readers to select which harvesters are best suited for a particular application.

About this title

About the Author

Seyed Hossein Daneshvar received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran, in 2011 and 2014, respectively. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. His current research interests include the field of energy harvesting, ultra-low power sensor interface circuits, and miniature generators for powering bio-implantable devices, and sensor networks.

Mehmet Rasit Yuce is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, Monash University, Australia. He received the M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida in 2001, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University (NCSU), Raleigh, NC in December 2004. In July 2011, he joined Monash University. His research interests include wearable devices, Internet-of-Things (IoT) for healthcare, wireless implantable telemetry, wireless body area network (WBAN), bio-sensors, integrated circuit technology dealing with digital, analog and radio frequency circuit designs for wireless, biomedical, and RF applications. Dr. Yuce has published more than 170 technical articles in the above areas and received a NASA group achievement award in 2007 for developing an SOI transceiver. He received a best journal paper award in 2014 from the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTTS). He is a senior member of IEEE. He is a topical editor for IEEE Sensors Journal, an editor-in-chief for Sensors, and a guest editor for IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics in 2015.

Jean-Michel Redouté (M’09-SM’12) received the degree of M. S. in electronics at the University College in Antwerp (1998), and the degree of M. Eng. in electrical engineering at the University of Brussels (2001). In August 2001, he started working at Alcatel Bell in Antwerp, where he was involved in the design of analog microelectronic circuits for telecommunications systems. In January 2005, he joined the University of Leuven as a Ph. D. research assistant. In May 2009, he presented his Ph. D. entitled "Design of EMI resisting analog integrated circuits". In September 2009, he started working at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center at the University of California, at Berkeley: this research was funded by the Belgian American Educational Foundation BAEF). In September 2010, he joined Monash University, Melbourne, as a senior lecturer. In July 2018, he started working at the University of Ličge as an Associate Professor. His research is concentrated on miniaturized and low-power sensor interfaces, robust mixed-signal integrated circuit (IC) design with a high immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), biomedical (integrated and non-integrated) circuit design, energy harvesting and integrated imagers. Dr. Redouté is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Sensors Journal.
