Patrick Stefanacci is a senior electrical engineering major at TCNJ. Patrick is currently involved in a TCNJ research project with Tenna to development low-power sensor devices for tracking temporary construction assets, and participated in TCNJ's MUSE summer research program. The research involves developing LPWAN networks and powering the sensors via multiple energy harvesting techniques.
What is Energy Harvesting
Using ambient sources to derive energy for low-energy device purposes.
Include many forms of energy, including: Solar, Thermal, Vibrational, Wind, Osmotic, Temperature, and Radio Frequencies. Due to the ambient sources, EH is renewable and environmentally friendly. Developing area with huge potential future.
