Harvest energy and throw the batteries away
ELBA develops small energy harvesters that use ambient vibrations as power supply. A complete wireless system including energy harvesters, electronics and sensors, has been developed.
Project description
The project will develop energy harvesters that convert the tiny amounts of energy harvested from vibrations into electrical energy. Energy harvesters are made from a combination of silicon-based micro/nano technology and print technology for piezo-electric thick film. They will subsequently be tested on Vestas nacelles and blades. (Energy 10)
