The EnerHarv will take place in Madrid, 27 to 29 May this year, hosted by UPM (UPM (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) Spain, and supported by Mid Sweden University. The workshop offers an opportunity to experts and users of energy harvesting and related technologies to share knowledge, best practices, roadmaps, experiences and create opportunities for collaboration.
What are the key drivers for this workshop?
- There are already 20 billion IoT sensors in the world, this will double by 2033
- 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
