Motivation for Harvesting Energy
Energy Harvesting is interesting where …
o there is no access to any power source
o battery use is inconvenient, impractical, expensive or dangerous
o wiring for power or data transmission is not wanted
o an autonomous supply can be better for reliability
o A battery life extension is mandatory
or value added requirement

Main Ambient Energy Sources
There is no universal
ambient energy source
A comparision of the 4 main ambient energy sources (before conversion) shows each has a
different power density. (Source:CEA-Leti)

Basic Considerations for Harvesting Energy
Source
Transducer
Converter
First think about Your needs
•
•
Calculate the total energy demand
Watch out for peak demands
Then think about Your capabilities
•
•
Consider the source characteristics
Watch out for the stability over time
And then try to match both
•
•
•
Choose the right transducer
Match it with the right voltage converter
If needed consider an energy storage
