Abstract
The need to obtain electric energy through renewable sources, accompanied by the growing advances in technology and the development of electrical and electronic devices, has enabled the creation of new ways of extracting energy from the environment, especially for low power devices. Among the most promising methods is the Power Harvesting, using piezoelectric transducers, which when coupled to a system, can be triggered by mechanical vibration, electromagnetic devices, wind energy, etc. This work aims to gather and describe the most relevant works available in the literature on wind turbine devices using associated piezoelectric elements, during the period from 2005 to 2019. Compared mainly, its dimensions, forms of energy extraction, piezoelectric material used, maximum electric power generated, and the power density obtained by each one. By showing that for systems that require low power to operate, such as remote sensors, these devices are capable of being applied efficiently and sustainably, contributing to the available energy matrix. Although prototypes capable of generating considerable powers are also presented in comparison with similar devices.
