Utilization of piezoelectric wind harvesting is a rather new means to convert renewable wind energy to electricity. Piezoelectric generators are typically low cost and easy to maintain. The wireless sensor nodes powered by a battery have a limited service life and need periodic maintenance due to the. . nergy sources: piezoelectric materials, a 360° wind turbine, and solar energy. A 360° wind turbine design captures wind energy from ll directions, maximizing wind energy capture. .
