What isenergy harvesting?

Therefore, this technology concerns many processes whose main activity is not to generate energy but which, through their use, produce it. The produced energy is very often lost.

Energy harvesting then allows these energies to be harvested, stored and converted.

Regardless of the energy collected, the harvesting and conversion process generally remains the same:

• a transducer providing the conversion of energy into electricity
• a signal processing circuit
• a storage component
• a power management unit

With the IoT development, energy harvesting can prove to be an essential asset for the acceptability of a new application:

• Reduced maintenance operations as no replacement of batteries
• Respect for the environment by eliminating the use of batteries
• New perspectives for application deployment on remote sites
• Reduced operating cost

Thanks to our e-green solutions, several possibilities are available to you:

• Power your IoT sensors with our e-green power that works without wires or batteries
• Monitor your installations (current and temperature control) using our e-green sensor, an autonomous communicating sensor that works without wires or batteries. (Protocoles LoRaWAN and BLE)

These two devices are self-powered thanks to the energy harvested from the cable around which they are simply clipped.
