Reply to comment by Allmightydohllah in Scientists have developed a low-cost small device (15x20cm) that can harness energy from wind as gentle as a light breeze and store it as electricity. With wind at 2 m/s the device can produce 3 volts and generate power of up to 290 microwatts (sufficient to power a commercial sensor) by nimnlil

Could both of those things not easily be connected to the grid? Seems like this would just add complexity where it isn't needed.

It seems to be really small energy. To me it is specifically for case where it is remote and changing battery is painful. A bit like a small solar panel.
