Piezoelectrics

By applying a mechanical stress to a crystal, one can generate a voltage and thus a current.


Market forecasts for piezoelectrics (US$ million) • Almost entirely

simple applications currently, such as lighters

• Watch: Industrial switches/ electronic locks and access control

• Pavements/road applications coming up

Applications in the build environment

[1] wireless switches [2] wireless outdoor light sensors [3] wireless occupancy sensor [4] wireless room temperature sensor [5] wireless climatic sensors [6] [7] wireless position sensors [8] Central control [9] Remote monitoring/control


Heating Controls

• Energy-autonomous radiator actuators/valves from Micropelt, Kieback & Peter utilizing thermoelectric energy harvesting

• Temperature sensors, occupancy sensors • Enabling users to control the heating system, automatically switch their

home appliances on and off.

Civil infrastructure – Smart Cities

Libelium’s Waspmote


The case for wireless condition monitoring

Temperature/vibration/strain etc. condition monitoring: allowing for preventative maintenance rather than reactive maintenance, minimizing downtime, wiring costs etc.


Monitoring rotating equipment

In June 2013 Perpetuum won a contract to supply Southeastern Railways with energy harvester powered wireless sensors to monitor the wear of wheel bearings for 148 Trains. 10mW – 15mW of continuous power for the duration of the journey


Some industries more demanding than others

• Monitoring industial equipment in factories has different requirements to

monitoring oil wells, aircraft integrity, etc.

• Difference in development/testing/robustness verification times

• Automotive sector also needing cycle times of up to 15+ years due to safety considerations.

RFID - IoT

Conclusions TODAY Suppliers are mostly not profitable yet, the most successful ones have revenues of a few tens of millions of $/year Currently identifying what IoT means.

SUPPLIER END-POINT Wide scale adoption and profitability CORE CHALLENGES • Clear value service offering for each

of the end-user sectors targeted • System supply, integration of legacy

systems • Cost of ownership – ROI: Proven user

cases (lessons from RFID?) • Industry will be smaller volume in the

short term. Government incentives create volume demand.

• Consumer electronics will create massive markets.

Harvesting Tech


Conclusions Significant interest so far mostly in the building automation sector. In October 2013, ABB, Bosch, Cisco, and LG, signed a memorandum which would allow diverse devices and services to interoperate, and to exchange information with each other. But…

• Industrial automation building up pace, some sectors more

difficult to penetrate than others.

• Large worldwide investment in thermoelectric generators for waste heat recovery in vehicles but also many other options becoming relevant in the automotive space (GPS,TPMS, automated driving..)

• Integration of the functionality of mobile platforms will open up significant new opportunities and lead to expanded markets (LBS). Battery technology competition a major hindrance.
