Energy harvesting is off-grid production of electricity where it is needed using ambient energy such as wind, tide and waves or just vibration. At power levels of watts to megawatts it is a great success. Examples are the bicycle dynamo, small wind turbine and regenerative braking in vehicles - even conventional ones - nowadays. See the IDTechEx Research report, Mild Hybrid 48V Vehicles 2016-2031.

IDTechEx Research has announced the availability of a new report, Triboelectric Energy Harvesting (TENG) 2017-2027, which explains energy harvesting, and specifically triboelectricity and the devices resulting, relating it to other forms of electrostatic and other energy harvesting methods to reveal lessons from the real world.
