Powercast to present at 4th Annual Energy Harvesting Workshop
Powercast will be exhibiting and presenting at the 4th Annual Energy Harvesting Workshop at Virgina Tech on January 28-29, 2009. Powercast sends power through the air using radio waves and converts it back to DC power using RF energy harvesting.
Charlie Greene, PhD. will be presenting the topic “RF Energy Harvesting for Controllable Wireless Power Systems“. Mr Greene developed key patents related to RF energy harvesting and is Head, Technology Platforms for Powercast.
Powercast will also be demonstrating battery-free wireless sensors that are powered by RF energy harvesting. “Energy harvesting is an enabling technology that will drive the next wave of deployment for wireless sensor networks”, said Harry Ostaffe, Director of Marketing for Powercast. “Powercast’s RF energy harvesting technology will help to expand the market for wireless sensors and provide for premium product differentiation through the use of a controllable, wireless power solution.”
