Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of large-scale distributed wireless sensor systems and micro-power devices, the disadvantages of traditional chemical battery power supply mode are becoming more and more obvious. Piezoelectric energy collector has attracted wide attention because of its simple structure, no heating, no electromagnetic interference, environmental protection and easy miniaturization. Wind energy is a reproducible resource. Wind energy harvester based on piezoelectric intelligent material can be named piezoelectric wind energy harvesting which converts wind energy into electric power and will have great application prospect. To promote the development of piezoelectric wind energy harvesting technology, research statuses on piezoelectric wind energy harvesting technology are reviewed. The existing problem and development direction about piezoelectric wind energy harvester in the future are discussed. The study will be helpful for researchers engaged in piezoelectric wind energy harvesting.

Summary

Introduction

With the aggravation of global warming and the shortage of petroleum energy, it is a strategic focus to seek multi-mode, multi-source, non-polluting renewable energy for the development of science and technology in the world at present. With large distributed wireless sensor systems and subminiature power devices developing quickly, traditional chemical battery could satisfy the need to some extent. The problems such as huge volume, finite life and periodical substitution were very obvious [5]. The principle of wind-induced vibration of piezoelectric energy harvester was the use of wind-induced vibration mechanism to convert the wind energy into electrical energy. It has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, low cost advantages, and could be used in such fields as wireless sensor systems and subminiature power devices. Because of the wide attention of Cantilever piezoelectric energy harvester, the paper discussed especially the characteristics of the Cantilever piezoelectric energy harvester
