Technology Introduction:
This technology is a wind energy harvester combining vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and MEMS-based piezoelectric conversion. It features low wind speed activation, modular design, and high integration. Cylindrical arrays enhance vortex interaction, boosting power output. Suitable for powering IoT sensors in off-grid areas, the device is patented in Taiwan and the U.S., and has potential for green energy modules in smart buildings and environmental monitoring.
Industry Applicability:
This technology suits IoT, smart buildings, and remote monitoring, featuring low wind-speed startup, high integration, and mass production potential. Its compact size fits dense sensor networks, ideal for structural health, agriculture tracking, and environmental sensing. With low wind speed starting, it supports off-grid or hard-to-reach sites and lowers maintenance. Integration with low-power communication modules promotes sustainable, low-carbon smart cities aligned with ESG goals.
