Structural health monitoring (SHM) requires many sensors that are usually powered by electrochemical batteries. The problem of using batteries includes expensive periodic replacement and disposal work that causes environmental pollution. To overcome such issues, energy harvesting technology has emerged as a good solution to scavenge vibration and wind energy from the ambient environment. Structures vibrate due to base excitations when it is subjected to wind flows. The energy of such structural vibration can be converted into electricity using energy transducers, such as electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and triboelectric transducers. The triboelectric energy transducer is of low cost with high power density. This project aims at harvesting ambient vibration and wind energy using triboelectric materials. The triboelectric energy harvester (TEH) will be designed, and a prototype of the harvester will be manufactured. The harvester will be based on a 2 degree of freedom set-up consisting of 2 beams.
