Based on the three-dimensional steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and k-ε double equations turbulent model, the field flow around the wind speed sensor and the steel pole along a high-speed railway was simulated on an unstructured grid. The grid-independent validation was conducted and the accuracy of the present numerical simulation method was validated by experiments and simulations carried out by previous researchers. Results show that the steel pole has a significant influence on the measurement results of wind speed sensors. As the distance between two wind speed sensors is varied from 0.3 to 1.0 m, the impact angles are less than ±20°, it is proposed that the distance between two wind speed sensors is 0.8 m at least, and the interval between wind speed sensors and the steel pole is more than 1.0 m with the sensors located on the upstream side.展开更多

Triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs) are popular for wind speed sensors due to their self-powered property. However, a TENG cannot easily work at low wind speeds due to the limitation of the high frictional resistance structure. In this paper, a TENG-based breezeactivated wind speed sensor(BAWS) with an ultra-low frictional resistance is proposed. The key drive unit of the BAWS is a Savonius-like vertical axis wind turbine, which is fabricated by arrayed airfoil profile blades with excellent flow field characteristics. Here a wind turbine plays dual roles in driving the electromagnetic generator below it to supply energy and lead the TENG above it to sense the wind force. Compared to a classical turbine with a wind cup, the designed turbine has a low resistance torque. The synergistic effect of the drive unit with low-resistance and triboelectric materials with low viscosity allows the BAWS to be activated even at a wind speed of 2.9 m/s. The sensitivities of the voltage frequency and current amplitude of the TENG are used to reflect the electrical property of the BAWS. The measured values are 0.291 Hz/(m·s-1) and 0.221 μA/(m·s-1),which reflects the good sensitivity of the BAWS. Moreover, the linearity of the BAWS reaches up to 0.991, which shows an accurate output for the wind speed. In addition, the device is equipped with a combined electromagnetic-solar unit as the sole power source to meet the sensor’s all-weather operation requirements. This work expands the application prospects of selfpowered sensing technology in the field of disaster warning.展开更多

In order to solve the freezing situation of the wind sensor, this paper designs a new type of antifreeze wind speed sensor. After meteorology performance testing and field observation tests, the correlation coefficient of the observation data is demonstrated, and the data curve is fitted. The result shows the sensor is stable, and has a good antifreeze effect, the data output is reliable.展开更多
