Abstract
Over the last decade, energy harvesting has seen significant growth as different markets adopt green, sustainable ways to produce electrical energy. Even though costs have fallen, the embedded computing and Internet of Things community has not yet widely adopted energy-harvesting-based solutions. This is partly due to a mismatch between power density in energy harvesters and electronic devices, which, until recently, required a battery or super-capacitor to be functional. This mismatch is especially accentuated in indoor environments, where there is comparably less primary energy available than in outdoor environments. In this talk, I will present a design methodology that can optimize energy flow in dynamic environments without requiring batteries or super-capacitors. Furthermore, I will discuss the general applicability of this approach by presenting several batteryless systems, including recent advances in autonomous batteryless sensors.
