Energy is gathered from the surroundings of a system and transformed into usable electric power through the process of energy harvesting, sometimes referred to as power harvesting or energy scavenging. Energy harvesting eliminates the need for running wires or making repeated trips to change batteries by enabling electronics to operate in locations without a traditional power source.
Circuitry to charge an energy storage cell, manage the power, and provide regulation and protection is typically included in an energy harvesting system. A battery is used by an electric car to store ready-to-use electrical energy. The cells that make up a battery pack are arranged into modules. The vehicle is ready for usage once the battery has enough energy stored.
In recent years, battery technology has greatly advanced. Imagine a very large bridge with numerous sensors installed to monitor the structure to better understand the significance of energy harvesting. They ought to be wirelessly communicable, compact, light, and energy autonomous.
Due to the inconvenience of wired and connected for a sensor, these needs are fairly widespread today. Of course, no one likes to pay for upkeep, which includes changing the batteries. Or picture yourself in a sizable, wild area without access to any electricity cables.
Perhaps consider having to enclose a sensor so that you cannot remove it to replace the battery. In these circumstances, using an energy harvester is the only practical method for providing long-term, cost-effective power to an electronic system.
The Global EV Energy harvesting IC market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A recent launch by e-peas’ growing line of products is an aerial solution. The company’s existing line of energy-harvesting specialised power management ICs will be enhanced by the aerial. The energy harvesting antenna from e-peas is 10 times smaller than a typical off-the-shelf component, giving clients’ designs more room.
It was created in collaboration with Ignion’s technology experts and is well suited for a wide range of industrial applications, including building automation, smart metering, asset monitoring, and other logistical applications. With the right matching network design, the same antenna can be used for any band and any device form factor.
It will be possible to gather energy with this aerial at all frequencies between 0.4GHz and 10.6GHz.
When used in conjunction with the AEM30940, AEM30330, or AEM30300 radio frequency ambient energy managers, it can capture energy from up to 17 metres away when using a 1W source and from 31 metres away when using a 3W source. Due to the antenna’s independence from orientation, energy can be gathered from any angle.
