Array of piezoelectric energy harvesting by the equivalent impedance approach

Abstract: This article proposes to use the idea of equivalent impedance to investigate the electrical response of an array of piezoelectric oscillators endowed with distinct energy harvesting circuits. Three interface electronics systems are considered including standard AC/DC and parallel/series-SSHI (synchronized switch harvesting on inductor) circuits. Various forms of equivalent load impedance are analytically obtained for different interfaces. The steady-state response of an array system is then shown to be determi… Show more

“…A piezoelectric harvester is a high Q resonant device that can effectively pick up ambient vibration energy only at or near a particular resonant frequency.

“…Increasingly, efforts are being made to develop broadband energy harvesters that can harvest energy over a large frequency interval. Typically, this is achieved by electrically and/or mechanically connecting energy harvesters whose operating frequencies are slightly different from, but very close to each other [2]. However, these assembled generators must be carefully designed so that each individual generator does not effect the others.…”

“…Firstly, it has the potential to achieve wider or even unlimited bandwidth by adding LFDBs connected with ropes. Secondly, the output power will not be weakened with the increasing number of LFDBs, unlike arrays of beams vibration energy harvester (AB-VEH) for wider bandwidth [19][20][21][22][23], and the reason in shown below. …”

“…In the case of the multimodal harvesting technique, it is mainly based on the structure of beam arrays, which have different frequencies to match the wideband excitation's components, can be classified into unconnected mechanical structure systems [19][20][21][22][23]-connected mechanical structure systems using springs [24,25]-and multi-resonance systems [26][27][28][29][30][31]. Compared with a conventional single piezoelectric beam EH, much higher bandwidth of the EH can be realized by the multimodal harvesting technique.…”
