Computational Tools for Energy Harvesting Applications presents the latest applications of energy harvesting methods for renewable energy systems. The book provides readers with the computational tools and algorithms for energy harvesting, explaining the mathematical basis behind their development and application and analyzing the latest developments. Each chapter provides a review of the fundamentals and basic theory behind each energy harvester, the working principles, and the latest practical applications. The mathematical techniques and computational tools are provided for response analysis and optimization of diverse energy harvesters, including from fixed renewable energy systems - wind, solar, etc. - and portable devices such as PEM fuel cells. This is a valuable reference for students and researchers working in the field of renewable energy harvesting and its application, as well as electrical and mechanical engineers.
