Energy Harvesting Conference
Energy harvesting aims at replacing or
complementing batteries by using micro-power generators.
The needs are enormous in the medical field
(e.g., running pace makers and other electronic implants
without batteries), in the consumer products field
(e.g., cell phones that need fewer or no recharges), and
in other fields. However, harvesting energy from the environment remains
a challenge and therefore research and development in this field is booming.
During this one-day conference, key players
will present needs and technical solutions in the area
of
energy harvesting.
