Abstract

The aim of this chapter to provide an overview of the different techniques that can be used to harvest energy for portable and wearable electronic devices. These technologies rely on converting ambient energy, or energy from the body into useful electricity. We discuss each technology‘s working principles, as well as its merits for satisfying the power demands of wearable electronic devices.
