The Third International Energy Harvesting Workshop, EnerHarv 2024 was held in Perugia, Italy, 26-28 June, 2024. The Proceedings are now available FREE and OPEN to public.
EnerHarv Overview
‘A focal point for a community of experts and users of energy harvesting & related technologies to share knowledge, best practices, roadmaps, experiences and create opportunities for collaboration’
What are the key drivers for this workshop?
- By 2025 we need to power a trillion sensors [source McKinsey]
- Wireless sensors need battery changes – we need where possible to use regenerative power to avoid this
- Energy harvesting component designers often do not understand how to optimise system level performance
- The ambient energies available are often unknown
- Industrial IoT (internet of things) device developers need to reduce power consumption to extend battery life and potentially self-power
- The conversation has moved to “How can I take advantage of this technology?”
- We need to deliver an energy harvesting ecosystem roadmap to guide and accelerate development
- We need to bring a community of experts together to address these issues and opportunities
What will I see & do at the workshop?
- Demonstrations from leading industry and academic developers
- Materials, devices, systems, visualization and simulation tools
- Examples of successful Energy Harvesting products already created
- Network with developers and (potential) users and integrators of energy harvesting materials, devices and systems
- Discuss their demos
- Understand where the technology is going
- Identify opportunities and bottlenecks
- Scope out collaboration opportunities
- Share best practices
Proceedings from previous EnerHarv workshops are available here FREE and OPEN to public!!!
