Solution type: in Development phase

Energy harvesters

Funded by: ATF

The project will develop energy harvesters that convert the tiny amounts of energy harvested from vibrations into electrical energy. Energy harvesters are made from a combination of silicon-based micro/nano technology and print technology for piezo-electric thick film. They will subsequently be tested on Vestas nacelles and blades.
