Abstract

Small sensors powered by wind-solar hybrid power supply do not require regular replacement of the power supply, and can be deployed in various remote areas. However, in practice, the photovoltaic panels are prone to accumulation of dirt, resulting in reduced power generation, and the rotating parts of small wind turbines are also very prone to failure. A wind-solar hybrid power device with a simple structure and self-cleaning capability was designed, and its solar and wind energy collection performance was experimentally evaluated based on meteorological statistical data. Moreover, the vibration cleaning efficacy of the photovoltaic panels under various dust coverage levels was compared. The research results show that the device can generate a maximum output power of 77.28 mW under simulated clear weather conditions (light intensity of 948.1 W/m2). The starting wind speed of wind energy collection based on piezoelectric and vortex-induced vibration effects is around 1.5 m/s, and a wind speed of 4.3 m/s in the experiments can generate an output power of 4.63 mW. After vortex-induced vibration cleaning of the photovoltaic module with different dust coverage densities, the output power of solar energy collection can be restored to over 84% of the clean state. This study presents a new technical solution for maintenance-free small-scale micro power generation equipment in remote areas.
