This paper deals with optimization studies based on artificial intelligence methods. These modern optimization methods can be very useful for design improving of an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester. The vibration energy harvester is a complex mechatronic device which harvests electrical energy from ambient mechanical vibrations. The harvester design consists of a precise mechanical resonator, electromagnetic converter and electronics. The optimization study of such complex mechatronic device is complicated however artificial intelligence methods can be used for set up of optimal harvester parameters. Used optimization strategies are applied to optimize the design of the electro-magnetic vibration energy harvester according to multi-objective fitness functions. Optimization results of the harvester are summarized in this paper. Presented optimization algorithms can be used for a design of new energy harvesting systems or for improving on existing energy harvesting systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
