Wind energy harvesting systems: A better understanding of their sustainability

This paper presents a review of wind energy harvesting systems. It includes several types of wind harvesters. The review is done based on three main categories: piezoelectric, electromagnet and electrostatic structures. Since wind harvesters are important devices when sustainability is considered, this review gives an in-depth evaluation and comparison of the three possible configurations. It should be noted that this review is based on recently published literature.
