Abstract
Efficiency of energy harvesters has to be optimized, comparable and traceable. To assure this, for the determination of the efficiency of energy harvesters the model of internal and external efficiency is developed. Two cases will be shown to demonstrate the advantages of this approach. First measurement results are presented and discussed.
