The Metrology for Energy Harvesting project is a research collaboration that brings together Europe’s world-leading expertise in measurement, energy harvesting and systems engineering. Partners include many of Europe’s national measurement institutes.
Reliable and accurate measurement is essential for European industry to develop and exploit the large growth opportunities for energy harvesting (EH) technologies. Companies in construction, transport, automotive, mobile communication, and sensors and instrumentation are already exploring the potential of EH.
This project will help Europe to commercialise EH technologies by developing ‘traceable’ (can be traced back to national standards) measurement methods, enabling industry to directly compare different EH technologies
such as thermoelectric and vibrational harvesting devices.
