This manuscript presents a new experimental wind generator based on piezoelectric energy conversion for low power applications. The aim is to demonstrate an alternative renewable energy generation method for low power applications. The generator has four blades of a propeller equipped with a total of twenty-four (24) thin film piezoelectric transducers (TFPTs). The output voltage is generated using a newly developed circuit topology. The generator was tested at three wind speeds 10 m/s, 14 m/s and 18 m/s, with a maximum output voltage of 10.2 V being produced at a wind speed of 18 m/s. Results show that this generator has promise to be suitable for low power batteryless applications, for example wireless sensor nodes (WSN).

该手稿介绍了一种基于压电能量转换的新型实验风力发电机，适用于低功率应用。目的是演示一种用于低功率应用的替代性可再生能源发电方法。该发生器具有一个螺旋桨的四个叶片，该叶片总共装有二十四（24）个薄膜压电换能器（TFPT）。输出电压是使用新开发的电路拓扑生成的。在10 m / s，14 m / s和18 m / s的三种风速下测试了发电机，在18 m / s的风速下产生了最大10.2 V的输出电压。结果表明，该发生器有望适用于低功率无电池应用，例如无线传感器节点（WSN）。
