“…Although the turbine generators offer significant advantages over battery power in terms of quantity of power and sustainability, they also have the disadvantages of complex construction, high cost, and stringent requirements of flow and viscosity. [7,10] Meanwhile, the drill pipe inevitably produces vibration, especially lateral vibration, during operation, [11][12][13][14] while the vibrational energy is widely distributed throughout the whole drill pipe assembly, but is underutilized. Therefore, it is a good choice to develop a new approach to utilize the vibration energy, which cannot only power the MWD system, but also realize the self-powered monitoring of the drill pipe.…”
