Abstract

Recently, actuators and sensors using dielectric elastomers (DEs) have attracted attention because they are lightweight, low cost, and efficient. Electric power can also be generated without producing carbon dioxide emissions or using rare earth materials. DE generators (DEGs) can generate electricity from various renewable energy sources. DEGs can actively introduce DE power generation systems tailored to areas such as solar power, wind power, water power, and wave power. As a result, it will reduce the large amount of CO2 generated by conventional power plants and contribute to the improvement of the global environment. In order to build a sustainable social infrastructure in an energy recycling society, methods of using a DE converter system have been studied. In order to succeed commercially, it is necessary to take advantage of the benefits of DE compared with conventional technology.
