Energy Harvesting for Sensing Applications Update

If you are interested in the possibility of using energy harvesting
technology to power a wireless sensor network, there are few tools that you should consider to determine if this can make a difference in your next system design.

The 308-page book, Energy Harvesting for Autonomous Systems written by Stephen Beeby and Neil White of the University of Southampton and published by Artech House within the last year and provides chapters on RFID, photovoltaic, kinetic, and thermoelectric
energy harvesting as well as power management, energy storage and a a case study.

At Sensors Expo 2011 in Chicago, the Energy Harvesting
Track on Tuesday and Wednesday provide attendees special insight into the products and their applications from eleven companies.

For those seeking a focused in-depth look at energy
harvesting, the Power Management: Energy Harvesting & Storage Symposium on Monday provides information
from a dozen of the leading energy harvesting companies.
