Abstract
The change of wind speed has an important impact on the ecological balance in the wind-eroded grassland. Using the wind speed monitoring technology can promote the sustainable management of grasslands, but commercial wind speed sensors pose certain challenges to energy consumption. Here, a self-powered wide wind speed sensor (SWSS) is proposed, consisting of polygonal cam synchronous driven triboelectric nanogenerator and stereoscopic electromagnetic nanogenerator. The circumferential array cam drive mechanism and the double-optimized silicone film realize the synergistic enhancement effect of force-electric coupling, which makes the synchronous sensing unit output wind speed signals with high sensitivity and up to 0.991 linearity. In addition, at 8 m/s wind speed, the transducer unit with the three-dimensional magnetic field enhanced layout and the energy capture unit with the semi-cylindrical blade designed for installation angle jointly achieved a power output of 69.35 mW, and the energy conversion efficiency reached 6.91 %. Owing to the intermittency of wind energy, the energy closed loop is realized through solar-assisted energy supply and energy management technology. In short, the design, optimization and integration of SWSS provide an innovative strategy for wide wind speed monitoring and sustainable management of wind-eroded grassland.
