| description | To reach ocean resources, sea activities and marine equipment variety are increasing, requiring offshore energy supply. Marine wave energy, the marine renewable energy with the most potential, offers massive energy storage and great energy density. This research proposes a swinging boat-type triboelectric nanogenerator concept for low-frequency wave energy collection. Triboelectric electronanogenerators with electrodes and a nylon roller make up the swinging boat-type triboelectric nanogenerator (ST-TENG). COMSOL electrostatic simulations and power generation concepts of independent layer and vertical contact separation modes of operation explain the device functionality. By rolling the drum at the bottom of the integrated boat-like device, it is possible to capture wave energy and convert it into electrical energy. Based on it, the ST load, TENG charging, and device stability are evaluated. According to the findings, the maximum instantaneous power of the TENG in the contact separation and independent layer modes reaches 246 W and 112.5 μW at matched loads of 40 MΩ and 200 MΩ, respectively. Additionally, the ST-TENG can retain the usual functioning of the electronic watch for 45 s while charging a 33 µF capacitor to 3 V in 320 s. Long-term low-frequency wave energy collection is possible with the device. The ST-TENG develops novel methods for large-scale blue energy collection and maritime equipment power. |
