Energy Harvesting Technology Overview
Energy is everywhere, all around us. Energy harvesting methods capture these ambient sources and convert them
into reliable electrical power for low-power, wireless, self-powered industrial sensors. We provide industries
with advanced energy harvesting solutions that efficiently capture ambient energy and convert it into a reliable
power source for wireless, self-powered sensors. Our cutting-edge technology eliminates the need for expensive,
endless cables, connectors, switches and carrier platforms, providing a sustainable and cost-effective solution
to your needs. Say goodbye to the limitations of conventional sensors.
Thermal Energy Harvesting
Thermal energy harvesting exploits the Seebeck Effect, where the temperature gradient across the junction of
different semiconductors or conductors produces a voltage potential. ESCOM Advanced Solutions uses this
principle to develop innovative, self-powered solutions for industrial and high-temperature environments. At
ESCOM Advanced Solutions, our products WiT-es and WiPr-es use thermal energy to power wireless sensors,
eliminating the need for batteries and cabling. These devices demonstrate the practical application of thermal
energy in industrial environments by providing reliable, real-time monitoring in harsh environments such as
power plants, chemical plants and refineries. Through the integration of thermal energy, we offer sustainable
and efficient solutions for industrial applications, ensuring optimum performance under harsh conditions.
Light Energy Harvesting
Light energy is a powerful resource that can be harnessed for innovative applications. At ESCOM Enhanced
Solutions, we utilise light energy in our advanced technologies, such as AiM, a solar-powered indoor air
quality monitoring system. AiM employs light energy to ensure efficient operation, providing real-time
environmental data while maintaining an eco-friendly and sustainable design.
By integrating light energy into innovative solutions like AiM, we aim to deliver cutting-edge,
energy-efficient technologies that enhance safety, well-being, and environmental awareness.
Kinetic Energy Harvesting
Kinetic energy can be captured and converted into electrical energy through the use of magnetic levitation or piezoelectric transducers, which respond to vibrations, acoustic waves, and mechanical motion. ESCOM Enhanced Solutions has pioneered several applications of kinetic energy harvesting, including VaRoM - Valve Rotation Monitoring, CoRoM - Connecting Rod Monitoring inside the four stroke engines.
RF Energy Harvesting
Radio frequency (RF) energy, pervasive in the environment due to mobile phone and electronic device
transmissions, represents a viable energy source. ESCOM Enhanced Solutions utilizes Wireless Energy Harvesting
(WEH) techniques to capture this ambient energy. RF waves are received via an antenna, inducing a potential
difference along its length. This energy is then converted into a stable direct current (DC) for powering
sensors or for storage in a capacitor.
Magnetic Energy Harvesting
Magnetic energy is a fundamental force found in industrial environments, electrical systems, and natural
phenomena. It plays a crucial role in wireless power solutions by enabling energy transfer without direct
connections. By harnessing ambient magnetic fields, sensors and IoT
devices can function independently, reducing maintenance
costs and improving efficiency. Magnetic energy also enables real-time data
transmission, making it ideal for industrial automation and predictive maintenance.
As industries move toward smarter and more sustainable technologies, leveraging
magnetic energy will be key to advancing self-powered devices.
