Energy harvesting technologies

Yksittäinen kurssi

The course was previously under the name Small/medium power energy harvesting and storage devices.

Course contents

  • Wireless devices and sensor networks
  • Solar, kinetic, thermal and electromagnetic wave energy harvesting
  • Power management circuitry and energy storage
  • Component and system fabrication and characterisation
  • Hands on learning: private demonstrator manufacturing and testing

Learning outcomes

After the course, students will have learned how to implement energy supply by harvesting energy from the environment and storage it in an efficient way.

Additionally, the students will

  • understand the energy requirements and design principles of self-powered and autonomous electronic systems for various sensing applications.
  • understand different energy harvesting and conversion techniques and thus be able to select appropriate methods according to available energy sources in defined application cases.
  • understand the materials, fabrication processes and characterization methodologies of different energy harvesters and corresponding sensor systems.
  • understand advanced energy storage options used for autonomous systems.
  • be able to design and fabricate their own self-powered electronic devices for autonomous and ubiquitous sensing based on their own selections of application areas.

Completion methods

The course will be implemented in a flexible mode. Students may choose to learn by following the teachers’ pace or at their own pace according to their own schedule. Students may study on campus entirely (contact mode), online entirely (remote mode), or combining the contact and remote modes according to their own needs.
