MEEN 5620 - Energy Harvesting Technologies and System Design

3 hours

Energy harvesting is the conversion of ambient energy present in the environment into electrical energy. Energy harvesting system has a wide range of applications, including energy efficiency enhancement for a system, embedded power source for wireless sensor networks, embedded power for biomedical devices. Introduces the design of energy conversion and storage systems from mechanical energy. Major topics include: vibration energy harvesting using piezoelectric materials, vibration energy harvesting using electromagnetic technique, thermoelectric energy harvesting, energy harvesting circuits, storage of harvested energy and selected applications of energy harvesting systems.

Prerequisite(s): None.
