This study focuses on the conceptual development, analytical modeling and experimental wind tunnel testing of a high efficiency energy harvesting (EH) device, based on piezoelectric materials, with an application for the sustainability of smart buildings.
Buildings with mixed residential and commercial units show relevant power peak that re further enhanced by shifting to electric source of nowadays gas-driven systems. The proposed solution is to organize a microgrid for such kind of buildings, aggregating different users with a common electric distribution system with a unique connection to the grid, a local common generation and a common heating/cooling system (electric-driven). This approach upgrades a group of independent several small users with rigid loads and chaotic behavior, to a large user with a flexible and controlled profile.
