Development of low-speed wind energy harvesting device

Remote area wind energy harvesting for low-power autonomous sensors

A growing demand for deployment of autonomous sensors and sensor networks is leading to a subsequent increase in the demand for localized, independent energy harvesting capabilities for each node. In this paper, a method of remote area wind energy harvesting is presented, with a focus on an anemometer-based solution. By utilizing the motion of the anemometer shaft to turn a compact alternator, ...

Flutter-driven triboelectrification for harvesting wind energy.

Technologies to harvest electrical energy from wind have vast potentials because wind is one of the cleanest and most sustainable energy sources that nature provides. Here we propose a flutter-driven triboelectric generator that uses contact electrification caused by the self-sustained oscillation of flags. We study the coupled interaction between a fluttering flexible flag and a rigid plate. I...

A Proposal for Wind-energy Conversion for Low Wind–speed Areas of India

In its origins, the Indian renewable-energy program was a response to the rural energy crisis prevalent in the 1970s. In this sense, the renewable energy program has resulted in unrealistic targets and allocation of budgets, which have led to failure [1]. Implementation of energy-conservation initiatives in India has suffered from loopholes, such as numerous independent Ministries, namely, the ...
