Abstract
A micro-power wind-solar hybrid energy harvesting and power generating device including a solar power generation module, a wind power generation module, a control module, an energy storage module, and an accessory structure are provided. The solar power generation module is mainly composed of a solar thin film cell and a corresponding interface control circuit, and the wind power generation module includes a wind-induced vibration structure, a cantilever beam structure, a piezoelectric element, and a corresponding interface control circuit. The solar thin film cell is mounted at a top of the wind-induced vibration structure, and interface control circuits, the energy storage module, etc. are all arranged inside the wind-induced vibration structure. The control module is configured to handle an energy harvesting and power generating algorithm of the wind-solar hybrid power generating device to maximize the power generation quality and the power generation efficiency of the device.
