Energy Harvesting

The Energy Harvesting Research Group at Exeter combines cutting edge academic research with a firm focus on the needs of industry. We use a fully integrated system approach to address key challenges in energy harvesting powered wireless sensing systems for industry sectors including railway, oil and gas, renewable energy, automotive, aerospace, and healthcare (body sensor networks and telemedicine).

Energy Harvesting

Design, model and characterise application-tailored energy harvesting transducers producing high electric power

Power Management and Storage

Develop circuits to maximise energy transfer, regulate and store the produced power with high efficiency and low loss

Wireless Sensing

Develop wireless sensing circuits and algorithms to reduce the power-consumption and use the harvested energy more efficiently

System Integration and Characterisation

Integrates energy harvesting transducers, power management and storage and wireless sensing to establish self-powered wireless systems
