/> EnOcean impressed the jury with its advances in energy conversion by means of a thermoelectric converter (ECT 300), which enables direct production of electricity from temperature differences – on warm parts of machinery for instance, heating radiators or even the human body. For this purpose a circuit was developed that converts a small voltage – from 20 mV upwards – into useful voltage of 3 V for example, which is enough to power a wireless sensor.

We're naturally very proud of receiving this international award, said Armin Anders, VP product marketing and co-founder of EnOcean. It's not only recognition of our product innovation but it is also evidence that our energy harvesting wireless technology has gained an international footing, concluded Anders.

The prize was presented during the Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe 2010 international conference and exhibition in Munich.
