“…Panigrahi et al used a flyback transformer circuit for voltage stepdown of a small DEG alongside a form of SPC. [ 119 ] While the overall global efficiency was less than 1%, they reported good efficiency for the stepdown of 79%. However, they did not report on the associated energy costs of the circuit.…”

Dielectric elastomer generator systems (DEGSs) are a class of electrostatic softtransducers capable of converting oscillating mechanical power from different sources into usable electricity. Over the past years, a diversity of DEGSs has been conceived, integrated, and tested featuring diverse topologies and implementation characteristics tailored on different applications. Herein, the recent advances on DEGSs are reviewed and illustrated in terms of design of hardware architectures, power electronics, and control, with reference to the different application targets, including large-scale systems such as ocean wave energy converters, and small-scale systems such as human motion or ambient vibration energy harvesters. Finally, challenges and perspectives for the advancement of DEGSs are identified and discussed.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have aroused the conspectus attention of scholars due to their extensive deployment in the emerging fields of the Internet of Things (IoT's) and self-driven devices. But WSNs technologies having a major bottleneck has been associated with limited energy. Mostly research in WSNs has been focused on minimizing energy usage to extend the survival time of limited power source in a network. Energy harvesting can be addressing its energy-scarcity problem of WSNs, so it is giving popularity to Energy Harvesting in Wireless Sensor Networks (EH-WSNs). The paper presents a comprehensive taxonomic survey on recently energy harvesting techniques and algorithms that proposed by various authors and also examined the work done by the various researchers in the field of EH-WSNs. For the ready reference of the researchers, a concise summary and comparative analysis of various promising techniques for energy harvesting have also been included in the systematic survey. However, many equipment developed using the hybridization method in a singular package to get full advantages of available free energy, are explored in this review. The review on hybrid energy harvesting (HEH) systems can be considered as the originality of this article. However, the outdoor photovoltaics have been provided maximum power density about ≈100 mW/cm 3 , and the piezoelectric harvesters have been given maximum voltage about 325 V but the current in very minute amount. The thermoelectric, rectenna and hybrid energy harvesters (EHs) have been given high efficiency more than 80%. Additionally, hybrid EHs have location/timeindependent characteristics which harnessed power from more than one source that can be became more popular for upcoming leading technologies of self-driven or autonomous devices shifting from battery operated devices. Finally, the survey also identifies often challenges and various significant issues that still essential to be addressed to develop a cost effective, efficient, long-lasting, and almost maintenance-free energy harvesting systems for WSNs along with trail to their possible solutions for future perspectives.

“…To eliminate this contradiction, Wu et al proposed another mechanism, suggesting that the actuation strain in DEs is induced by the rearrangement of polymer chains under an electric field. , This mechanism considers the interaction between the applied electric field and the dipoles of polymer chains as another critical factor determining actuation strain under an external electric field. However, from the perspective of DE materials, increasing ε′ and decreasing Y in the DE film remain two direct avenues for improving the actuation performance of the DEA. − …”
