How These Emerging Technologies Can S hape an Efficient Tomorrow Ryan M. Keller GIS S pecialist/ Research Assistant Economic and Human Dimension Research Associates

Understanding these Technologies Geographic Information Energy Harvesting Systems  Cartography  Taking of Ambient Energy  Computer S cience  Converting it to  Geographic Problem Electricity S olving  Immediate or S tored Use  Visualize numerical Data  Micro or Macro S cale?  Quantify Visual Data  What kind of Energy to Harvest?

Energy Harvesting  Photovoltaic:  S olar Energy  Piezoelectric:  Kinet ic Energy  Thermoelectric:  Temperat ure Gradient  Fluid Flow:  Wind/ Wave Energy

Photovoltaic  Large S cale:  Rooftop PV , S elf Powered S treet Lights, S olar Windows/ Roadways  S mall S cale:  Calculators, Watches, Clothing, Portable Chargers  Biggest Challenge: S caling down PV components for efficient small scale use

Piezoelectric  Most Familiar  S hake Flashlights, Tap Lights, S witches  In Production  PaveGEN Tiles, Bionic Power Walk  Future Markets  Kinetic Clothing, Building/ S kyscraper S waying

Thermoelectric  Industrial Products  ABB WiTemp, Logimesh Logimotes  Personal Products  KAIS T Thermo Element, iTRV Thermogenerator, TEGs for Vehicles (ETA 2020)  Biggest Challenge  Increasing Efficiency, S ustainable High- Temp Materials

Fluid Flow  Air Products  Wind Farms, FreeVolt, WattUP  Marine Products  S EAformatic Power Harvesting Mounts, Nova Innovation Tidal Array  Newest S ector of Energy Harvesting
