Wind energy harvesting technology can convert wind energy into electric energy to supply power for microelectronic devices. It has great potential in many specific applications and environments, such as remote areas, sea surfaces, mountains, and so on. Over the past few years, flutter‐based wind energy harvesting, which generates electric energy based on the limit cycle oscillation created by structural aeroelastic instability, has received increasing attention, and as a consequence, different energy harvesting structures, theories, and methods have been proposed. In this paper, three types of flutter‐based energy harvesters (FEHs) including airfoil‐based, flat plate‐based, and flexible body‐based FEHs are reviewed, and related concepts and theoretical models are introduced. The recent progress in FEH performance enhancement methods is classified into structural improvement and optimization, the introduction of nonlinearity, and hybrid structures and mechanisms. Finally, the main FEH challenges are summarized, and future research directions are discussed.

In the last three decades, smart materials have become popular. The piezoelectric materials have shown key characteristics for engineering applications, such as in sensors and actuators for industrial use. Because of their excellent mechanical-to-electrical and vice versa energy conversion properties, piezoelectric materials with high piezoelectric charge and voltage coefficient have been tested in renewable energy applications. The fundamental component of the energy harvester is the piezoelectric material, which, when subjected to mechanical vibrations or applied stress, induces the displaced ions in the material and results in a net electric charge due to the dipole moment of the unit cell. This phenomenon builds an electric potential across the material. In this review article, a detailed study focused on the piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH’s) is reported. In addition, the fundamental idea about piezoelectric materials, along with their modeling for various applications, are detailed systematically. Then a summary of previous studies based on PEH’s other applications is listed, considering the technical aspects and methodologies. A discussion has been provided as a critical review of current challenges in this field. As a result, this review can provide a guideline for the scholars who want to use PEH’s for their research.

“…Sensors of these characteristics have been exploited for the experimental investigation, but small differences in the frequency response, due to their low manufacturing cost, can be measured. Generally, the piezoelectric transducers are based on materials that are able to generate power of nano-Watts to several micro-Watts, resulting in an external input, while the crystal frequency ranges from 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz with temperature range of −270 • C to 650 • C [37]. Thus, the piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) can be exploited in a wide range of applications, such as audible alarms "buzzers", wireless sensors, nano and microelectronics for energy harvesting purposes [38][39][40].…”

Vibration Monitoring for Position Sensor Fault Diagnosis in Brushless DC Motor Drives

A non-invasive technique for condition monitoring of brushless DC motor drives is proposed in this study for Hall-effect position sensor fault diagnosis. Position sensor faults affect rotor position feedback, resulting in faulty transitions, which in turn cause current fluctuations and mechanical oscillations, derating system performance and threatening life expectancy. The main concept of the proposed technique is to detect the faults using vibration signals, acquired by low-cost piezoelectric sensors. With this aim, the frequency spectrum of the piezoelectric sensor output signal is analyzed both under the healthy and faulty operating conditions to highlight the fault signature. Therefore, the second harmonic component of the vibration signal spectrum is evaluated as a reliable signature for the detection of misalignment faults, while the fourth harmonic component is investigated for the position sensor breakdown fault, considering both single and double sensor faults. As the fault signature is localized at these harmonic components, the Goertzel algorithm is promoted as an efficient tool for the harmonic analysis in a narrow frequency band. Simulation results of the system operation, under healthy and faulty conditions, are presented along with the experimental results, verifying the proposed technique performance in detecting the position sensor faults in a non-invasive manner.
