For managing the soaring power demand, various types of Energy Harvesting Systems (EHS) have been developed. The energy harvesting from unutilized natural renewable sources using piezoelectric transducers is one of them. Day-by-day different analytical models are being reported with different piezoelectric transducers to improve the energy efficiency and output power of the energy harvesting systems. The goal of this paper is to review the PEH (Piezo-electric Energy Harvesting) systems developed in last decade to harness energy required for small electronics. The Piezo-electric energy harvesting system works on the phenomena of direct piezo-electric effect; i.e. the transducer generates electric energy when it is exposed to mechanical stress/pressure/vibration. The suitability of piezo-electric transducer for different applications depends upon the piezo-electric materials, their shapes and configurations. In this article the different piezoelectric materials and the transducer configurations have been discussed. The performance parameters of different piezo-electric energy harvesting systems have been analyzed and the scope of improvement in the existing systems has been discussed in this manuscript.

“…Thus, just a small amount of mechanical energy from a person’s daily activities is sufficient to power a wearable health monitoring device. 16 , 17 , 18 The human body movements that can drive the biological energy harvesters include: inertial excitation, force excitation, and relative motion excitation. Among them, energy harvesters that utilize human body inertia include energy collection backpacks and eccentric rotor generators.…”

“…There are also reviews that concentrate on particular classes of energy harvesters, yet they seem to prefer summarizing select studies pertaining to displacement excitation. [ 28,29 ] Turab [ 30 ] provides a detailed review of energy harvesters for harvesting small physiological vibrations such as heartbeat, pulsation and respiration. Of course, some reviews exist describing inertial excitation.…”

Amidst the swift progression of microelectronics and Internet of Things technology, wearable devices are gradually gaining ground in the domains of human health monitoring. Recently, human bioenergy harvesting has emerged as a plausible alternative to batteries. This paper delves into harvesting human inertial energy that stimulates inertial masses through human motion and then transmutes the motion of the inertial masses into electrical energy. The inertial energy harvester is better suited for low‐frequency and irregular human motion. This review first identifies the sources of human motion excitation that are compatible with inertial energy harvesters and then provides a summary of the operating principles and the comparisons of the commonly used energy conversion mechanisms, including electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and triboelectric transducers. The review thoroughly summarizes the latest advancements in human inertial energy‐harvesting technology that are categorized and grouped based on their excitation sources and mechanical modulation methods. In addition, the review outlines the applications of inertial energy harvesters in powering wearable devices, medical health monitoring, and as mobile power sources. Finally, the challenges faced by inertial energy‐harvesting technologies are discussed, and the review provides a perspective on the potential developments in the field.
