Energy Harvesting and Storage for
Electronic Devices 2014-2024: Forecasts, Technologies, Players
Energy
harvesting is the process by which ambient energy is captured and converted
into electricity for small autonomous devices, such as satellites, laptops and
nodes in sensor networks making them self-sufficient. Although energy
harvesting applications reach from vehicles to the smart grid, the majority of
the value this year is in consumer electronic applications, where energy
harvesters have been used for some time.

Energy
harvesting, otherwise known as power harvesting or energy scavenging includes photovoltaics,
thermovoltaics, piezoelectrics and electrodynamics, among other options, which
are now being used in a wide variety of applications. The technology has
reached a tipping point, because the necessary lower power electronics and more
efficient energy gathering and storage are now sufficiently affordable,
reliable and longer lived for a huge number of applications to be practicable.
From
wind-up laptops for Africa, wireless light switches working from the power of
your finger and wireless sensors in oil fields monitoring equipment power by
vibration - these are all in use now with many more applications emerging.
Market
segments using Energy Harvesting
This
report covers the following market segments with detailed ten year forecasts of
each:
- Wristwatches
- Bicycle dynamo
- Laptops, e-books
- Mobile phones
- Other portable consumer electronics - Calculators, toys, piezo gas lighters, electronic car keys, electronic apparel etc
- Wireless sensor mesh networks
- Other Industrial -Mainly buildings, machinery, engines, non-meshed wireless sensors and actuators
- Military and aerospace excluding WSN
- Healthcare - Implants, disposable testers and drug delivery etc
- Other - Research, animals, farming etc
Energy
harvesting by technology type
This
year, most of the harvesters used in the above market segments are solar cells
followed by electrodynamos, two relatively mature energy harvesting
technologies. However, many new technologies are now taking some market share
enabling power in areas not possible before.
This
includes thermoelectrics - generating power from heat - where organisations
such as the Department of Energy in the US are working with BMW and GM to turn
heat waste from engines and exhaust into power for the vehicle's electrical
systems. NASA use thermoelectrics to power Mars rovers where they work without
light, unlike solar cells. Piezoelectric energy harvesters are also of great
interest due to their small form factor and high efficiency. In 2022, these
four energy harvester types will have near similar market share for industrial
sensing applications. However, even by then solar will continue to dominate for
consumer applications.
For
the first time, this unique report looks at the global situation. It covers the
progress of more than 350 organizations in 22 countries and gives detailed case
studies. Market forecasts are provided for everything from self-sufficient
wristwatches to mobile phones that will never need a charger and light switches
and controls that have no wiring and no batteries when fitted in buildings to
wireless sensors power from the environment they are placed in.
However,
there are further mountains to climb in order to achieve self-powered wireless
sensors monitoring forest fires, pollution spillages and even inside the human
body and in the concrete of buildings. These applications will become
commonplace one day. Even devices with maintenance-free life of hundreds of
years can now be envisaged. Meanwhile, bionic man containing maintenance free,
self-powered devices for his lifetime is an objective for the next few years.
IDTechEx find that the total market for energy harvesting devices, including
everything from wristwatches to wireless sensors will rise to over $5 billion
in 2022.
