Abstract
This paper aims to show and classify the various types of energy harvesting technologies, and find out the potential pros and cons from the existing energy harvesting techniques with different applications. There are many energy-harvesting systems discussed in the review that depend on the source of energy are for example solar, human, flow, microbial, micro-algal and fuel cell, microwave, ultrasonic, wave, offshore, rainwater, thermal, hybrid, mechanical and vibration energy harvesting. The number of references analyzing in the context of the design but the research highlight the most attracted software programs and mathematical techniques that the researchers used it on their research. In addition, the review showed a wide range of different energy harvesting applications where these applications are categorized with respect to each source that will lead us to understand that there are some type of the sources are more suitable to specific applications. The storage systems also showed with respect the points of benefits and the cons where all storage systems are a real challenge till now in the energy sector because its defects on many applications and different conditions of operations. The reality and the future challenges are characterized according to the potential of applications with respect to the various energy harvesting systems.
