Improving Extreme Temp Performance in EV Batteries

On March 31, 2023 in All, Automotive, Energy Harvesting, General, Power by Adam Kimmel

Extreme temperatures can reduce EV range by up to 35 percent and negatively impact battery durability. Energy harvesting is emerging as a tool to trim these efficiency losses to optimize battery performance and increase charging speed.

How to Maximize the Efficiency of Energy Harvesting in Electronics

On February 11, 2022 in All, Energy Harvesting by Adam Kimmel

Energy harvesting requires a distinction between maximum power and maximum efficiency. Improved conversion efficiency increases power for the same input energy; however, this does not necessarily mean the highest power. Here is how you can maximize the efficiency of MCU energy harvesters.

Moving from Smart to Brilliant Energy

On October 14, 2020 in All, General, IoT, Low Power, Power, Sensors by Jon Gabay

Making energy use more efficient on a device is common. Doing it with a distributed random needs-based environment is more difficult. Appliances that can work together to assure peak-demand load conformity will have an advantage over those that don’t.

Going Off-Grid Efficiently With MicroGrids

On August 24, 2020 in All, Automotive, Energy Harvesting, Industrial, Lighting by Paul Lee

Microgrids are becoming popular for environmental and dollar cost savings. However, adoption is dependent on efficient power conversion electronics enabled by the increasing use of wide bandgap semiconductors.
