Summary of Power Management for an Energy Harvesting System This chapter covers the basic concepts of the power management strategy for energy harvesting applications that does not require battery replacement or charging from and external power source and the basic design method using the RE01 group products. 1.1 About Energy Harvesting "Energy harvesting" refers to technology for electric power generation by converting energy in the environment--whether in the form of sunlight, temperature differences, vibrations, dynamo (water turbines and wind turbines), pressure, or something else--into electric power. The electric power generated in this way can be stored in capacitors or secondary batteries to provide the power to operate an electronic system. 1.2 About Power Management In this document, "power management" is defined as maintaining an energy input/output balance between energy generation/accumulation and energy consumption. By performing power management, battery replacement and charging by human intervention becomes unnecessary, and the system operate autonomously. In order to maintain an input/output balance, the system-level control described below is necessary. 1.3 Basic Design Method 1.3.1 Hardware Design (1) Circuit configuration Figure 1-1 shows an example of a power management circuit configuration in an energy harvesting system. For information on the power generating element, storage capacitor, and secondary battery connections, refer to the User's Manual: Hardware Edition.

Further description of the product Mercury-containing button cells 3. Information on the use of the Currently, there are three types of button cell batteries that contain mercury: zinc air, silver oxide and alkaline. product These batteries contain mercury in small amounts (typically 0.1-2%) and the purpose of mercury in the cell is to prevent the build-up of hydrogen gas. The mercury acts as a barrier to the production of hydrogen and as such prevents the cell swelling and becoming damaged.
