Torsional-Flutter-Based Harvester: Output Power in Nonstationary, Thunderstorm-Like Winds
摘要
This study continues the recent investigations on a flutter-based energy harvester. The work quantifies the output power of the harvesting device in non-ideal wind conditions. The numerical model replicates gusty and nonstationary features of a moderate-intensity thunderstorm outflow. A stochastic calculus differential equation is used to numerically examine the system performance.
