Why should you use BS IEC 62047‑28 - Vibration-driven MEMS for energy harvesting devices?
Electret-based microelectromechanical system (MEMS) vibratory energy harvesting is a key technology for converting the mechanical energy of environmental vibrations into electricity. If their potential is realised, the need of batteries to power components can be done away with.
BS IEC 62047‑28 provides guidance on vibration testing equipment that provides fundamental configurations consisting of functional blocks or components for vibration testing equipment for MEMS electrets energy harvesting devices at a specified constant frequency and constant acceleration. Guidance on measuring vibration acceleration response, vibration frequency response and the conditions and electric characteristics of the external load are also covered in BS IEC 62047‑28.
The vibration-driven MEMS energy harvesting devices for testing defined in BS IEC 62047-28 indicates the manner of mounting and vibration direction.
As a result, you can efficiently retrieve the power from vibrations by BS IEC 62047-28-compliant MEMS energy harvesters.
