“…Some investigations have been focused on the FEH applications. For example, Li et al 93 installed a hybrid FEH in a car to harvest wind energy from traveling vehicles, and the effect of vehicle body vibration on the flutter energy harvesting performance was discussed based on numerical simulations. Boccalero et al 54 used an FEH as power supply for internet of things nodes, and the simulations demonstrated the possibility to reach more than 80% of the overall efficiency in a realistic case.…”

“…Chatterjee and Bryant 91,92 proposed a multifunctional compliant structure (shown in Figure 12C) that can harvest solar energy and environmental mechanical energy (including wind and vibration energies) at the same time and proposed a corresponding theoretical model. Li et al 93 designed a piezoelectric and electromagnetic hybrid energy harvester (Figure 12D) to harvest vibration energy and wind energy. The theoretical and experimental results proved that this structure can work at a lower wind speed and has a higher power output than a typical airfoil-based FEH.…”

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.
