Small-scale wind energy harvesting using piezoelectric materials by Zhao, Liya

“…A two degree-of-freedom galloping piezoelectric energy harvester (GPEH) is proposed which successfully enhances the output power in low wind speeds. A beam stiffener is employed as an electromechanical coupling magnifier, which is proved to be an easy but greatly effective efficiency enhancing method for energy harvesting from VIV, flutter as well as galloping. …”
