Energy Harvesting
Nowadays wireless technologies pervade several industrial and residential environments, such as in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart home and smart factory, precision agriculture, wearable technologies, etc. However, these technologies present a significant energy expenditure and are usually powered by batteries, which, apart from the problem of their recharge and their end-of-life disposal, are manufactured employing critical raw materials.
At Koral Technologies we are developing cutting-edge energy harvesting technologies, allowing to harvest energy normally available from environmental sources (e.g., solar, thermal, mechanical, electromagnetic energy, etc.) and to make it available as supply for end-user applications.
The technologies we are developing enable energy-autonomous sensors and wireless applications, allowing our clients to reduce or even to avoid the use of traditional batteries.
The main strengths of our platform are the following:
- Battery support: we extend battery life in your devices or eliminate the need for batteries altogether, thus reducing the dependence on critical raw materials.
- Modularity: our platform can integrate and exploit several energy sources, also at the same time, and can be adapted to a wide spectrum of applications and operating conditions. Our modular configuration allows highly customizable products, always keeping costs under control.
- Flexibility: our solutions are extremely versatile and can be also custom-engineered to face complex problems, and are conceived for different power levels. Flexibility means also flexible electronics, which we have implemented for an integration with wearable technologies.
- Integrability: we deliver solutions that can be easily integrated into new or existing projects, guaranteeing not only the environmental sustainability but also the financial one.
- Wide spectrum: our platform can be employed in various industrial sectors, from aerospace to automotive, from oil & gas to renewable energies, to wearable technologies and microtechnologies, also operating in harsh environments.
By integrating our energy harvesting platform with our thermal management technologies and with our technologies for battery intelligence, our clients can have access to a more efficient, sustainable and reliable ecosystem to improve the energy efficiency of next-generation electronics.
Thermal Management
The performance and lifespan of electronics, in every industrial or consumer application, can be significantly reduced from a non-optimal heat dissipation. The cooling of electronics, therefore, is essential for reaching and maintaining in time its nominal performance, as well as its reliability under various environments and/or operating conditions.
At Koral Technologies we are developing cutting-edge thermal management technologies, based on both liquid and air cooling, through both natural and forced convection, in order to optimize heat dissipation in high-performance electronics.
The technologies we are developing enable power electronics with reduced energy expenditure with a guarantee of higher reliability and lifespan, allowing our clients to minimize heat dissipations and fluctuations.
The main strengths of our platform are the following:
- Optimized cooling: by using advanced design techniques and optimization algorithms, also based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), through our technologies we manage to maximize the cooling efficiency (or, equivalently, to minimize the thermal resistance), also in systems presenting a non-uniform heat generation in space and/or time.
- Liquid and air cooling: we deliver solutions for both liquid and air cooling, under conditions of both natural and forced convection. Additionally, thanks to our hybrid systems we can combine both conditions and reach maximum efficiency also in demanding operating conditions.
- Flexibility: our solutions are extremely versatile and can be also custom-engineered to face complex problems, and are conceived for different power levels. If you are looking for customized cooling solutions, our technology can easily adapt to your unique requirements.
- Advanced manufacturing: by employing cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, including Additive Manufacturing (AM), we manage to deliver solutions with a high material quality standard and with an optimized weight. Our cooling solutions allow to maximize the thermal power-to-weight (or, equivalently, the thermal power-to-volume) ratio and are therefore ideal for applications in which the weight plays a fundamental role, such as in aerospace or in electric mobility.
- Wide spectrum: our platform can be employed in various industrial sectors, from aerospace to automotive, from renewable energies to power electronics, also operating in harsh environments.
By integrating our thermal management platform with our energy harvesting technologies and with our solutions for battery intelligence, our clients can have access to a more efficient, sustainable and reliable ecosystem to improve the energy efficiency of next-generation electronics.
Battery Intelligence
Energy storage needs inevitably sustainable, thus with a low environmental impact, flexible, i.e., adaptable to different environments and operating conditions, and intelligent solutions. The batteries currently widespread, which power a wide variety of devices and applications, present clear limits in terms of lifespan, reliability and safety.
At Koral Technologies we are developing cutting-edge technologies for battery intelligence, delivering hardware and software solutions for the optimization of battery packs, by extending their lifespan and guaranteeing high safety standards and high performance.
The technologies we are developing enable more safe, more reliable and long-lasting energy storage, thanks to the hardware and software optimization of the batteries, allowing our clients to reach high performance minimizing risks and related costs.
The main strengths of our platform are the following:
- Safety: we exploit a smart combination of sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to prevent potential failures or critical working conditions (e.g., overheating), allowing the safe implementation of battery packs at various performance levels.
- Longevity: by monitoring and optimizing the State of Health (SoH) and the State of Charge (SoC) with a multiscale approach, i.e., from a single cell to the whole battery pack, we manage to maximize the lifespan of the batteries thus retarding their substitution.
- Flexibility: our solutions are extremely versatile and can be also custom-engineered to face complex problems, and are conceived for various power and energy levels, as well as for various battery chemistries or energy storage devices (e.g., supercapacitors).
- Integrability: we deliver solutions that can be easily integrated into new or existing projects, guaranteeing not only the environmental sustainability but also the financial one.
- Wide spectrum: our platform can be employed in various industrial sectors, from aerospace to automotive, from oil & gas to renewable energies, to wearable technologies and microtechnologies, also operating in harsh environments.
By integrating our solutions for battery intelligence with our energy harvesting technologies and with our thermal management technologies, our clients can have access to a more efficient, sustainable and reliable ecosystem to improve the energy efficiency of next-generation electronics.
Cold plates
Cold plates represent a highly effective solution for thermal management in high-power electronic systems. They offer efficient and uniform cooling, improving the performance and life of electronic components, and are essential for applications where temperature control is critical.
