The main challenge for all smart sensor devices is self-powering. We design, manufacture and test miniaturized piezo energy harvesters using vibrational energy as autonomous energy supply. This system will be demonstrated in two very demanding applications: leadless pacemaker and WSN for structural health monitoring.
The goal is to tackle the main challenge for all smart devices – self-powering. The project aims to design, manufacture and test a miniaturized autonomous energy supply based on harvesting vibrational energy with piezo-MEMS energy harvesters. The project will integrate several multi-functional technologies and nanomaterials; a MEMS-based multi-axis energy harvester, an ultra-low-power ASIC to manage the variations of the frequency and harvested power, and a miniaturized energy storing supercapacitor, all heterogeneously integrated for cost effective 3D integration.
