SOC/SIP for energy management

This paper deals with how ICs and MEMS can address energy issues like the generation, the conversion, the use, the storage, of energy. Energy management is indeed a major issue for the world. Several domains are reviewed like equipment, buildings, lighting, transport, industry. Such a topic complements another important topic addressed for ICs and MEMS themselves, namely the design of low-power devices. A way for future ultra low power devices is also addressed. ICs and MEMS for energy management can be obtained from CMP that is briefly reviewed.
