Course: Energy Harvesting (EN)

Aim of the course

This course provides an overview on the wide field of energy harvesting and a selected in-deep knowledge on various areas as the design of microgenerators and power management. It gives some insight into energy-autonomous embedded systems in some application fields e.g. building infrastructure and automotive.

Target group

This course is designed for the practicing scientist or engineer, but also for a technical marketing person, to provide an overview on the wide field of energy harvesting and also a selected in-deep knowledge on various areas of this widespread discipline, e.g. the design of microgenerators, of power management, and some insight into application scenarios.

Course content

• mechanical and thermal microgenerators (e.g. piezoelectric, electromagnetic, electret or thermoelectric generators)
• relevant energy storage concepts (capacitors, rechargeable lithium batteries, thermal batteries)
• electronic power management in energy-autonomous embedded systems
• applications of energy harvesting and energy-autonomous embedded systems (e.g. in infrastructure monitoring, home automation, automotive and process control, IoT)
