Micropelt, an innovator in thermal energy harvesting technology, has collaborated with Royal Dutch Shell to prove the concept of converting waste heat into a sustainable, maintenancefree power supply for wireless sensor devices. Shell sees wireless sensor networks as a strong contributor to increasing productivity and lowering maintenance costs through better status information. The concept of energy harvesting eliminates the need for primary batteries in many wireless sensors. Deployment in restricted access or even explosive areas, and those previously considered too costly, become commercially viable if both wiring and battery maintenance can be eliminated.
