Abstract
One of the strong requirements of wireless sensor networks is the low power consumption in order to extend the life of the network itself. This constraint is even stronger for body area networks. Energy harvesting is an interesting solution that captures the energy from the environment. This work presents an electromechanical model of a piezoelectric transducer in a cantilever configuration. The model has been used to design and optimize an energy harvesting system, that has been placed on a running shoe, that can be used to feed energy for sensors of body area networks.
