Vehicles are developing in the direction of energy-saving and electrification. suspension has been widely developed in the field of vehicles as a key component. Traditional hydraulic energy-supply suspensions dissipate vibration energy as waste heat to suppress vibration. This part of the energy is mainly generated by the vehicle engine. In order to effectively utilize the energy of this part, the energy-regenerative suspension with energy recovery converts the vibrational energy into electrical energy as the vehicle’s energy supply equipment. This article reviews the hydraulically powered suspension of vehicles with energy recovery. The importance of such suspension in vehicle energy recovery is analyzed. The main categories of energy-regenerative suspension are illustrated from different energy recovery methods, and the research status of hydraulic energy-regenerative suspension is comprehensively analyzed. Important factors that affect the shock-absorbing and regenerative characteristics of the suspension system are studied. In addition, some unresolved challenges are also proposed, which provides a reference value for the development of energy-regenerative suspension systems for hybrid new energy vehicles

The concept of energy harvesting works towards developing self-powered devices that do not require replaceable power supplies. Energy scavenging devices are designed to capture the ambient energy surrounding the electronics and convert it into usable electrical energy. A number of sources of harvestable ambient energy exist, including waste heat, vibration, electromagnetic waves, wind, flowing water, and solar energy. While each of these sources of energy can be effectively used to power remote sensors, the structural and biological communities have placed an emphasis on scavenging vibrational energy with ferroelectric materials. Ferroelectric materials have a crystalline structure that provide a unique ability to convert an applied electrical potential into a mechanical strain or vice versa. Based on the properties of the material, this paper investigates the technique of power harvesting and storage.

The energy problem is getting increasingly serious. As such, unused energy recovery technology is crucial for environmental protection, which has been investigated extensively. Several methods have been developed to utilize scavenged energy from the environment, such as waste heat, solar energy, wind energy, and tides energy to convert into useful power. There is a new idea of piezoelectric jellyfish generator which combines the utilization of sea wave and vibration energy. When sea wave passes through the jellyfish, the wave causes the tentacles to vibrate. The tentacles is made of piezoelectric polymer which can convert the strain energy into electrical energy. This paper discusses about the piezoelectric jellyfish's tentacles being disturbed by wave in the sea. We employed the commercial CFD software CFD-ACE+ 2006 to simulate this phenomenon. The parameters including its tentacle length (L) and wave propagating function (Y) are studied which affect the piezoelectric jellyfish capacity to generate power.

Production Area

The coal combustion processes which require high temperature will produce waste heat energy. The energy   can be used as generator propulsion to produce electrical energy.  Thus, Semen Padang Corporation has successfully got  funding from the Japan government, New Energy Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to build the installation Waste Heat Recovery Power Generation (WHRPG) located in the production area of Semen Padang Corporation, Indarung V. Furthermore, heat energy process can not be operated manually, so control system is needed to control this WHPRG performance. The operational of WHPRG can produce electricity power 196.15 MW  as to reduce the electric power that must be supplied by Indonesian Electricity Corporation. Besides that, the outcome of Semen Padang Corporation can be saved 33 billion Rupiah per year and CO2 emission can be declined 33,000 tons per year.

A thermoelectric energy recovery module (TERM) is proposed. The TERM seeks to generate electrical energy from waste heat of power amplifier transistors. The TERM consists of a thermoelectric generator (TEG), a heat spreader, and a heat sink. A fully-coupled thermoelectric (TE) model of the TERM is developed to predict the power generation and the thermal performance of the TERM. A first order prototype of the TERM and a measurement setup are constructed to demonstrate the TERM performance. Power generation values and junction temperatures of a heat source are measured at various source heat flows. The measured results are used to verify the predicted results and to demonstrate the TERM performance. Load resistance effects to the TERM performance are also investigated utilizing the TE model and the measurement setup.

The Great East Japan Earthquake dealt a major blow to Japan, including the shattering of its fragile energy supply. The disaster most seriously questions the existing energy policy. Correcting the problems and guiding by macro-regulation and control provide the essential insurance for restoration and further sustainable economic development. China is a big energy user and importer of the 21st century, and a safe and efficient energy supply is of great significance for maintaining its long-term and stable economic growth. As the Chinese saying puts it, the stones from other hills may serve to polish jades; Japanese explorations have good reference value for China’s economic transformation, and the development of low-carbon cities and buildings.

Thermoelectric (TE) material is a class of materials that can convert heat to electrical energy directly in a solid-state-device without any moving parts and that is environmentally friendly. The study and development of TE materials have grown quickly in the past decade. However, their development goes slowly by the lack of cheap TE materials with high Seebeck coefficient and good electrical conductivity. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are particularly attractive as TE materials because of at least three reasons: (1) CNTs possess various band gaps depending on their structure, (2) CNTs represent unique one-dimensional carbon materials which naturally satisfies the conditions of quantum confinement effect to enhance the TE efficiency and (3) CNTs provide us with a platform for developing lightweight and flexible TE devices due to their mechanical properties. The TE power factor is reported to reach 700–1000 W / m K 2 for both p-type and n-type CNTs when purified to contain only doped semiconducting CNT species. Therefore, CNTs are promising for a variety of TE applications in which the heat source is unlimited, such as waste heat or solar heat although their figure of merit Z T is still modest (0.05 at 300 K). In this paper, we review in detail from the basic concept of TE field to the fundamental TE properties of CNTs, as well as their applications. Furthermore, the strategies are discussed to improve the TE properties of CNTs. Finally, we give our perspectives on the tremendous potential of CNTs-based TE materials and composites.
