Raindrop power generation and energy storage power station

What is a raindrop energy conversion system?

The Raindrop Energy Conversion System represents a groundbreaking approach to renewable energy generation by harnessing the kinetic energy of raindrops and water flow from outlets of dams and reservoirs. By utilising innovative piezoelectric transducer plates, the system efficiently converts the impact energy of raindrops into electrical power.

Can a large-scale raindrop energy harvesting work?

This research provides a reference for the large-scale raindrop energy harvesting. Droplet-based electricity generator (DEG) has been demonstrated as efficient method to harvest energy from the natural environment. However, the complex structure and low output power density are still two barriers to wide applications.

Can a raindrop energy supply a sloping building?

However, it is difficult to continuously provide energy for the electrical equipment by a single or several DEGs. When harvesting large-scale raindrop energy in sloping buildings such as sheds, a simple method is to connect all DEGs in parallel to supply power to the load (like a bulb).
