Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) related products are growing at double digits per year and some estimations report a market value in the order of trillions of dollars in the next decade. A great technological paradigm shift is going to be pulled by the development of IoT; green materials, autonomous systems, self sustainable, ultralow-power circuits, energy saving protocols, and energy harvesting (EH) are concurrently mandatory. Limited device battery life has always been a key consideration as the frequent battery replacement/recharging is often costly due to the large number of sensor devices in use, and even infeasible in many critical and remote applications (e.g.,sensors embedded in structures and implanted medical devices etc). Energy harvesting technologies harnessing energy from ambient power sources, such as vibration, heat, and electromagnetic waves/wireless, have recently attracted significant attention, and numerous energy harvesting systems, including energy harvesting devices, topologies, and circuitries, have been developed for "zero-power" self-sustainable standalone electronics. The concept of wireless energy power transfer/harvesting has been proposed by Nikola Tesla and Heinrich Hertz: radiate wireless power to free space and convert the wireless power to usable direct current (dc) power. In this talk, I will review the prior arts and present the latest research done by my group in the area of wireless power transfer and energy harvesting.
