Novel Strategies for Energy Harvesting
Co-organized with Polytechnic University of Turin Chair: Stefano STASSI, Polytechnic University of Turin
The quest for sustainable energy sources has prompted a surge in research into novel strategies for energy harvesting. From advancements in photovoltaic technology to the harnessing of ambient or human vibrations and thermal differentials, different methodologies are explored. Furthermore, the integration of nanotechnology and flexible electronics opens new frontiers, enabling energy harvesting from previously untapped sources. Additionally, the fusion of multiple energy harvesting techniques and the development of smart, adaptive systems showcase the potential for enhanced energy autonomy in various applications, from IoT devices to remote sensors. The aim of the symposium is to provide an overview of some advanced research trends in the field of small scale energy harvesting technologies that offer promising avenues for efficient power generation. Through this exploration, the topic highlights the transformative potential of novel energy harvesting strategies in shaping a sustainable energy landscape for the future.
