Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe: Key Learnings from the 2015 Show

The recent IDTechEx event "Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe" in Berlin was once again a good barometer of what is happening in the industry. Here are some of our delegates' comments on our Europe 2015 event.

Industry-standard ultra-low power microcontroller benchmarks

The Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) has announced its intent to create a standardized, industry-endorsed method to evaluate the energy efficiency of ultra-low power (ULP) microcontrollers.

Smartphones that use half the power

The new advance is essentially a blazingly fast electronic gearbox. It chooses among different voltages that can be sent across the transistor, and selects the one that minimizes power consumption, and it does this as many as 20 million times per second.

SolarPrint to enable next generation self powered wireless sensors

SolarPrint Limited a leading developer of high performance indoor energy harvesting technology today announced that it is to showcase the world's first self powered wireless CO2, Temperature and Humidity sensor using SolarPrint's Dye Sensitised Solar cell ("DSSC") technology as part of a joint collaboration with Analog Devices Incorporated (ADI) and Gas Sensing Solutions Limited (GSS).

Solar energy harvesting innovation

Once again the question arises: What can new technologies bring to the table and how can they compete?

Interview with Microsemi

Dr Harry Zervos recently interviewed Mr Mauricio Peres, product marketing director with Microsemi, an $840 Million company specializing in high performance, high quality analog devices, ICs, all the way to complete subsystems for a variety of industry sectors.
