Research and Markets: Energy Harvesting and Storage for Electronic Devices 2012-2022. Updated Report

Sep 20, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bw5tw9/energy_harvesting) has announced the addition of the "Energy Harvesting and Storage for Electronic Devices 2012-2022" report to their offering.

In 2012, IDTechEx research finds that the amount of money spent on energy harvesters will be more than $0.7Bn, with several hundred developers involved throughout the value chain. Energy harvesting is the process by which ambient energy is captured and converted into electricity for small autonomous devices, such as satellites, laptops and nodes in sensor networks making them self-sufficient. Although energy harvesting applications reach from vehicles to the smart grid, the majority of the value this year is in consumer electronic applications, where energy harvesters have been used for some time.

Energy harvesting, otherwise known as power harvesting or energy scavenging includes photovoltaics, thermovoltaics, piezoelectrics and electrodynamics, among other options, which are now being used in a wide variety of applications. The technology has reached a tipping point, because the necessary lower power electronics and more efficient energy gathering and storage are now sufficiently affordable, reliable and longer lived for a huge number of applications to be practicable.

From wind-up laptops for Africa, wireless light switches working from the power of your finger and wireless sensors in oil fields monitoring equipment power by vibration - these are all in use now with many more applications emerging.

This year, most of the harvesters used in the above market segments are solar cells followed by electrodynamos, two relatively mature energy harvesting technologies. However, many new technologies are now taking some market share enabling power in areas not possible before.

For the first time, this unique report looks at the global situation. It covers the progress of more than 350 organizations in 22 countries and gives detailed case studies. Market forecasts are provided for everything from self-sufficient wristwatches to mobile phones that will never need a charger and light switches and controls that have no wiring and no batteries when fitted in buildings to wireless sensors power from the environment they are placed in.

Key Questions Answered How do these things work Which technologies have the most potential now and in the future What are the advantages and disadvantages of each Which countries have the most active programs and why What are the leading universities, developers, manufacturers and other players up to What alliances exist What are the timelines for success All these questions and more are answered in this report.

Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary And Conclusions 2. Introduction 3. Applications And Potential Applications 4. Harvesting-Tolerant Electronics, Direct Use Of Power, Storage Options 5. Light Harvesting For Small Devices 6. Movement Harvesting 7. Heat Harvesting 8. Other Harvesting Options 9. Profiles Of Participants In 22 Countries 10. The Enocean Alliance 11.
