What are vibration-based energy harvesting mechanisms?
We start by providing an overview of four vibration-based energy harvesting mechanisms, including piezoelectric, electromagnetic, electrostatic, and triboelectric energy harvesting. It is to be noted that frequency is most essential property of the vibration.
What is the structure frequency of a vibration-based energy harvesting device?
Based on the generic spring–mass–damper model of vibration-based energy harvesting discussed in Section 2, in order to maximize the use of the energy harvesters for a particular application, the structure frequency of the energy harvesting device is designed to match the source frequency (ωstruc = ωs).
How can a vibration-based energy harvesting array become a self-excited device?
To transform a vibration-based energy harvesting array into a self-excited, or a self-charge, device, one of the primary requirements is to identify potential vibration sources in the surrounding environment. Among various vibration sources, an especially promising vibration source is created by flow-induced vibration.
What are the different types of flow induced vibration energy harvesters?
The harvesting mechanisms of flow-induced vibration energy harvesters can be divided into five categories, namely flutter, VIV, galloping, wake-galloping, and hybrid-type flow-induced vibration.
Why are flow-induced vibration energy harvesters a disadvantage?
The time-varying wind speed condition makes the output of the harvesters unstable, which is a disadvantage to the energy supply of electronics. Various flow-induced vibration energy harvesters were presented based on different working principles and energy conversion mechanisms.
