PowerMEMS 2007, November 28-29, 2007
Congress and Convention Center, Freiburg, Germany
Our daily living is governed by a comprehensive, omnipresent and ubiquitous information network with a remarkably small and continuously shrinking grid size. A reliable energy supply is an essential prerequisite to use this novel technology in production technology, building automation, logistics, biomedical, automotive, portable IT and numerous other conceivable applications of distributed microelectronic and MEMS devices. Consequently, micro energy technology, covering topics of energy conversion and power conditioning, is an exciting area of research with a tremendous market potential.
The objective of the PowerMEMS 2007 workshop is to catalyze innovations in micro and nanotechnology for power generation and energy conversion applications. The workshop will provide researchers with a forum for discussing latest research results and promoting progress towards commercialization.
The scope of PowerMEMS 2007 ranges from integrated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for energy harvesting and energy management to novel materials for energy conversion applications, with power levels from micro-watts to watts. Applications include portable electric power generation, e.g. for consumer electronics, the autonomous supply of embedded microsystems by energy scavenging, but also an effective cooling of microelectronics and propulsion techniques for micro air vehicles and nanosatellites.

The workshop will allow interaction between the multiple disciplines required for power MEMS, such as electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineering, chemistry, and material science. It will also provide a forum to address the needs for commercialization of novel Power MEMS technologies.
The technical topics of interest include:
- Micro heat engines for power generation and propulsion
- Micro fuel cells and micro reactors for fuel processing and power generation
- Thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic systems
- MEMS piezoelectric and electromagnetic power generators
- Micro thrusters and miniature propulsion microsystems
- Micro coolers and other thermal management technologies
- Nanostructured materials for energy-related applications
- Micro and nano-scale catalysis, combustion, heat and mass transfer
- Energy scavenging for embedded microsystems
- Biologically inspired approaches for micro and nano energy conversion
- Novel micro and nanofabrication technologies for energy applications
