Abstract
With the development of smart grids, the demand for monitoring the condition of transmission is becoming high. Harvesting magnetic energy of transmission lines is a feasible approach to provide a sustainable power source for condition monitoring sensors. However, energy harvesting methods for transmission lines are constrained by size and service life. We report an antifatigue triboelectric nanogenerator based on a swinging structure (S-TENG) for magnetic energy harvesting. The S-TENG is composed of several magnets attached to a flexible substrate, which is laminated with a sponge layer, a copper film, and a polytetrafluoroethylene film. The laminated layer acts both as a tribo-layer and as a beam. The distinct structure without a stiff termination also avoids vibration fatigue and ensures the efficient contact of triboelectric layers with each other. The S-TENG presents a maximum peak power of 0.78 mW under 30 MΩ loading resistance. This work reveals the potential for harvesting alternating magnetic energy of transmission lines as an energy source for low-power electronic appliances.
