The Fourth International Energy Harvesting Workshop, EnerHarv 2026 was held in Madrid, Spain, 27-29 May, 2026.
Information on EnerHarv 2026 can be found in the program book.
Registrants can access the full proceedings here.
This will be made available to the public in Q2 2027. Previous proceedings can be found in the ‘EnerHarv Proceedings Data repository’
Presentation material from the LoLiPoP-IoT workshop can be found here.

Thanks once again to all involved in EnerHarv 2026 especially our colleagues in UPM Madrid & MIUN Sweden who were wonderful physical and virtual hosts respectively and all of our sponsors (most notably our platinum commercial sponsor Rohde and Schwarz) who helped us keep registration costs reasonable and helped us put on a great show.
We are looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones at EnerHarv 2028 and beyond.
We are also looking for volunteers to join our EnerHarv 2028 workshop committee and for suggestions on content, location, speakers, demos, etc.
For any further inputs and suggestions you are welcome to contact PSMA Energy Harvesting Committee Co-chairs Mike Hayes & Brian Zahnstecher or PSMA directly michael.hayes@tyndall.ie or bz@powerrox.com

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED:
EnerHarv Overview
‘A focal point for a community of experts and users of energy harvesting & related technologies to share knowledge, best practices, roadmaps, experiences and create opportunities for collaboration’
What are the key drivers for this workshop?
- There are already 20 billion IoT sensors in the world, this will double by 2033
- Wireless sensors need battery changes – we need where possible to use regenerative power to avoid this
- Energy harvesting component designers often do not understand how to optimise system level performance
- The ambient energies available are often unknown
- Industrial IoT (internet of things) device developers need to reduce power consumption to extend battery life and potentially self-power
- The conversation has moved to “How can I take advantage of this technology?”
- We need to deliver an energy harvesting ecosystem roadmap to guide and accelerate development
- We need to bring a community of experts together to address these issues and opportunities
What will I see & do at the workshop?
- Demonstrations from leading industry and academic developers
- Materials, devices, systems, visualization and simulation tools
- Examples of successful Energy Harvesting products already created
- Network with developers and (potential) users and integrators of energy harvesting materials, devices and systems
- Discuss their demos
- Understand where the technology is going
- Identify opportunities and bottlenecks
- Scope out collaboration opportunities
- Share best practices
Proceedings from previous EnerHarv workshops are available here FREE and OPEN to public!!!
