Objectives

To address challenges involved in developing traceable measurements and standards (particularly vibrational and thermal EH) to provide Europe with the metrological framework, technical capability and scientific knowledge to enable the development of effective, commercially successful EH technologies. Scientific & technological aims

Scientific & technological aims

1. Establish definitions and measurement techniques that permit assessment of efficiency and effectiveness of energy harvesting technologies in different applications

2. Develop metrology framework to provide essential, traceable and reliable measurement data required for new product development process, including:

• Measurement of basic materials, thermal, mechanical and electrical properties that relate to energy

• Development of AC/DC transfer techniques for small non-sinusoidal signals

3. Establish metrological links between nano-scale device structures (defining the physical and chemical properties of suitable materials with nanometre sensitivity) and performance of microscale devices (transduction ratios, coupling, energy, and power measurement)

The research within this EURAMET joint research project receives funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme, ERA-NET Plus, under Grant Agreement No.217257.
