Energy harvesting involves capturing ambient energy from natural sources and converting it into usable electrical power. It supports low-power devices and reduces dependence on batteries and external power supplies.
This technology plays a crucial role in sustainable and autonomous systems.
Detailed Aspects:
- Uses solar, thermal, kinetic, or wind energy
- Supports self-powered devices
- Enables remote and wireless systems
- Promotes renewable energy use
Example:
Smart sensors powered by vibrations in industrial machinery use energy harvesting.
