Tyndall was proud to represent Energy ECS at EnerHarv 2024, held in Perugia, Italy, from 26-28 June. EnerHarv 2024 was the biennial international workshop on energy harvesting and related technologies organised by PSMA and hosted by University of Perugia and the VITALITY project. This event offered a platform for the world’s leading experts and users in energy harvesting, energy storage, and micro-power management to share their knowledge and best practices. This year’s event attracted 85 participants. For more details, visit EnerHarv 2024.
Mario Costanza, supported by Gabriel Christmann from CSEM, presented a poster capturing the work of project partners Tyndall, NetFeasa and CSEM in developing a WSN battery life simulation model and guiding selection and sizing of energy harvesting and storage components to create a PV self-powered asset tracking module for tracking dry containers operated by Irish SME NetFeasa. Furthermore, Eoin Ahern from Tyndall presented on the CONNECT ‘Energy Harvesting Testbed for Optimising Energy-constrained WSN Nodes and Network’ which leverages the WSN battery life simulation model for multiple applications.
EnerHarv co-founder Mike Hayes from Tyndall, who served as the conference co-chair commented on the success of the event, ‘The excitement and enthusiasm was infectious. Nothing beats in-person engagement like this. Participants tell us there is no event like this out there that brings industry and academia together, showcases our work, demonstrates impact and fosters ideas, relationships and collaboration. On behalf of the co-chairs, a big ‘molte grazie’ to our hosts and entire workshop committee’.
We are also delighted to announce that an abstract for an oral presentation (and journal publication) based on the simulation model has been accepted for PowerMEMS+ 2024 in Tonsberg Norway in November. PowerMEMS+ 2024 | 18-21 November 2024 | Tønsberg, NORWAY
