SUSTAINABLE HYBRID PIEZOELECTRIC MATRIX ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM

Abstract: a sustainable hybrid piezoelectric matrix ice protection system is provided. the system includes at least one energy harvester and anti-icing device and an energy storage device. responsive to electrical power generated by the at least one energy harvester and anti-icing device being greater than a first threshold, the at least one energy harvester and anti-icing device stores the electrical power in the energy storage device. responsive to the electrical power generated by the at least one energy harvester and anti-icing device being less than the first threshold, the at least one energy harvester and anti-icing device generates continuous, low-frequency vibrations for anti-icing.
