“…In such a configuration, a rotor driven by the wind will rotate thus inducing impact on the piezoelectric cantilevers embedded around the rotating shaft. As the contact between the rotor and cantilevers causes wear, thus shortening the lifecycle of the entire harvester, the contactless configuration was then developed, as shown in Figure b. This design replaces the mechanical contacting force applied between the rotor and cantilevers with the magnetic force.…”

Energy harvesting technology may be considered an ultimate solution to replace batteries and provide a long-term power supply for wireless sensor networks. Looking back into its research history, individual energy harvesters for the conversion of single energy sources into electricity are developed first, followed by hybrid counterparts designed for use with multiple energy sources. Very recently, the concept of a truly multisource energy harvester built from only a single piece of material as the energy conversion component is proposed. This review, from the aspect of materials and device configurations, explains in detail a wide scope to give an overview of energy harvesting research. It covers single-source devices including solar, thermal, kinetic and other types of energy harvesters, hybrid energy harvesting configurations for both single and multiple energy sources and single material, and multisource energy harvesters. It also includes the energy conversion principles of photovoltaic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric, triboelectric, electrostatic, electrostrictive, thermoelectric, pyroelectric, magnetostrictive, and dielectric devices. This is one of the most comprehensive reviews conducted to date, focusing on the entire energy harvesting research scene and providing a guide to seeking deeper and more specific research references and resources from every corner of the scientific community.

“…have been developed in recent years; see Wu et al [13] and Zulueta et al [14]. There are a lot of ambient vibrations such as human and machine motions, wind or seismic actions in the environment, see O'Donnell [15], Zulueta et al [14] and Kurt et al [16]. In the work of Nesarajah et al [17], a new thermoelectric energy harvesting system was developed to convert the waste heat from exhaust pipes.…”

Abstract:Over the past few years, it has been established that vibration energy harvesters with intentionally designed components can be used for frequency bandwidth enhancement under excitation for sufficiently high vibration amplitudes. Pipelines are often necessary means of transporting important resources such as water, gas, and oil. A self-powered wireless sensor network could be a sustainable alternative for in-pipe monitoring applications. A new control algorithm has been developed and implemented into an underwater energy harvester. Firstly, a computational study of a piezoelectric energy harvester for underwater applications has been studied for using the kinetic energy of water flow at four different Reynolds numbers Re = 3000, 6000, 9000, and 12,000. The device consists of a piezoelectric beam assembled to an oscillating cylinder inside the water of pipes from 2 to 5 inches in diameter. Therefore, unsteady simulations have been performed to study the dynamic forces under different water speeds. Secondly, a new control law strategy based on the computational results has been developed to extract as much energy as possible from the energy harvester. The results show that the harvester can efficiently extract the power from the kinetic energy of the fluid. The maximum power output is 996.25 µW and corresponds to the case with Re = 12,000.

“…Mechanical vibrations can be found in nature at very different amplitudes and frequencies. Electrical energy can be obtained many different methods from mechanical vibrations such as triboelectric (Song et al, 2019), wind (Silva-Leon et al, 2019, Raouadi et al, 2018, piezoelectric (Zhang et al, 2017, Bolat et al, 2019, Kurt et al, 2017, electromagnetic (Bolat et al, 2019, Fan et al, 2019, and electrostatic (Guo et al, 2019, Truong et al, 2019. Each of these systems has different advantages and limitations.…”

Energy harvesting systems are used with or instead of batteries to provide energy to low power devices such as sensors and sensor nodes. The most commonly used energy harvesting systems are those that obtain electrical energy from vibration. Because vibrations can be found intensively in the environment. In this study, the systems that produce energy by means of various circuits attached around wires carrying electrical energy are examined. These are generally piezoelectric and electromagnetic energy harvester systems. In the studies, the effects of the distance, the magnitude of the current flowing through the wire and the load resistance to be connected to the energy harvester were investigated. In addition, permanent magnet arrays have been used to increase the amount of power to be obtained in some applications.
