A concept of environmental monitoring system based on triboelectric generator

Abstract

Today, the emergence of new technical means of monitoring the state of the environment based on modern approaches in the field of microcontroller technology is a tendency. First, it is necessary to emphasize the peculiarity of reducing the level of energy consumption for this type of devices, improving the quality of data communications (wireless communication), as well as the availability of components and their low cost in the market. An important feature of the effective functioning of the monitoring system is power sources. In this direction, the authors propose and develop new types of renewable energy converters, which are based on triboelectric and piezoelectric effects of ferroelectrics-semiconductors - Sn2P2S6 type.
