In this report, an application of vibration energy harvester for MEMS wireless sensor systems was described. The MEMS vibration harvester is one the great candidate for maintenance free power source for the wireless sensor network (WSN) and system e.g. the IoT and the Trillion Sensors Universe. By introducing some researches for the human monitoring WSN and two types of vibration harvester based on an electromagnetic and an electrostatic (electret) technologies, the present situation of vibration harvesters and their goal were summarized in the article.
