Session 8 overview: Wireless power and harvesting: Power management subcommittee

Abstract

Innovations in energy harvesting continue to enhance power-conversion efficiency, reduce circuit self-startup voltage, and system static-power consumption. Various new energy sources including a triboelectric nanogenerator and MEMS AlN-on-Si piezoelectric harvesters have been reported. New design methodologies for wireless-power and piezoelectric-vibration-energy harvesting are improving the state of the art.
