ENERPACK

Multi-low-power Energy Source Packaging

Micro-generator of electric energy based on renewable energy sources

Program ‘Eureka’, contract number: Eur-09-04/33NCBiR/11.

Project budget: EUR 2,500,000  

Implementation timeframe: 12/07/2011 – 30/11/2012

Coordinator: ERYMA SECURITY SYSTEMS, France

Project purposes: The goal of the project is to develop an innovative, affordable and highly integrated system of multi-source micro-generators of electric power in the form of a single ready-to-use module. These intelligently managed sourced of electric power can supply both stationary and mobile sensor systems, providing them with long-term autonomy. 
Innovativeness of the project involves also the following:

  • Close integration of various sources of energy: solar, thermal and kinetic;
  • Use of advanced wind turbines equipped with kinetic micro-generators storing kinetic energy of the wind and vibration;
  • Innovative enclosure enabling maintenance of a temperature difference optimal for the module and setting up thermally efficient connections between components of the system;
  • Designing of an innovative unit responsible for managing and controlling the processes of energy generation and consumption, assisted by weather forecasts sent wirelessly to the device.
