Innowattech: Harvesting Energy and Data A stand alone technology

Dr. Lucy Edery-Azulay, CEO

Innowattech’s technology

Innowattech’s technology and patent principles: Efficiently converting external mechanical load into green electrical energy, based on piezoelectric elements Green energy - the electrical energy is producing based on the part of the mechanical energy that usually is wasted in heat form The conversion is based on the compressed piezo-mechanical effect.

Innowattech’s solution

=

Piezoelectric generators IPEGTM

+

Electrical system

Harvesting module & Storage system

2

Innowattech’s technology Green alternative electricity

A=100%

Part of the energy wasted on Road deformation

Case I – “Regular” road without generators

Case II – Road embedded with IPEG

D

D- Wasted thermal energy

D`

C

C- Electric energy D` - Wasted thermal energy

3

Innowattech’s applications Energy and Data – Roadway & Railway

Alternative green electrical energy – Continual projects –

Innowattech’s system can be establishment along the lane/rail length Connection to the local grid Impressive short time for return of investment (ROI)

Local projects

Establishment only few generators The electricity can be used for battery charging The advantages of the Innowattech local solution is marked when compared with other alternative energy solutions like solar

I-WIM (Weigh In Motion) sensor

The weight of various types of vehicles while being in motion. Stand alone technology

Innowattech’s applications Energy and Data – estimated potential values

Roads application: From 1kilometre lane of road - 200KWh/h Based on: Generators are embedded along two wheel’s footprints, about 600 heavy vehicles per hour, travelling at a speed of 72 km per hour on average. Railways applications: From 1kilometre rail - 120KWh/h Based on: two generators are inserted in every sleeper, an average railway movement of 300 loaded wagons per hour I-WIM...
