主要内容：

  Small energy harvesting for powering low-power electronics such as wireless sensors

has received intensive research attention in the recent years. This talk

introduces the research work carried out in Nanyang Technological University,

Singapore, focusing on vibration and small wind energy harvesting using

piezoelectric materials. Various issues regarding piezoelectric energy

harvesting will be discussed, including experiment, theoretical and equivalent

circuit modelling, energy extraction circuit, nonlinear techniques, efficiency

enhancement and applications.
