Farms of Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Harvesting Wind Energy A Potential Approach towards Green Energy- Nano Energy
Our paper, “Farms of Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Harvesting Wind Energy: A Potential Approach towards Green Energy” is introducing an extremely important TENGs wind farms concept.
Depending on contact electrification based freestanding mode between two disks with patterns of micro-sized circular sectors, the TENG farm that works with the wind flow converts the low and high wind energy into electricity. Then, the performance of the TENG and Darrieus turbines is compared both experimentally and theoretically, predicting the unique advantage offered by TENG at low rotation speed. Given the convincing characteristics, such as having little weight, low cost, environmentally friendly, and effortlessly connected, the TENG farm can be an effective way towards large-scale green energy harvesting from the wind.
