This paper presents novel electromagnetic bridge energy harvesters (BEHs) utilizing bridge vibrations and ambient wind surges to power wireless sensor nodes used for bridges' health monitoring. The developed BEHs are cantilever-type and are comprised of a wound coil, permanent magnet, an airfoil, cantilever beam, and a support. Harvesters are characterized in-lab under different vibration levels and are subjected to variable speed air surges. The harvesters exhibit multiresonant frequencies; prototype I has resonant frequencies of 3.6, 14.9, and 17.6 Hz. However, 7.6, 33, and 45 Hz are the resonant frequencies for prototype II. Under vibration testing, prototype I produced a maximum voltage of 206 mV and an optimum power of 354.51 μW at a frequency of 3.6 Hz and 0.4g acceleration. However, at a frequency of 7.6 Hz and 0.6g acceleration, prototype II showed the capability of generating a maximum voltage of 430 mV and an optimum power of 2214.32 μW. Moreover, when BEHs are characterized under variable speed air surges, prototype I generated a load voltage of 19 mV and a power of 7.84 μW at an air speed of 9 m/s; however, 22 mV and 9.14 μW load voltage and power, respectively, are developed by prototype II at 6 m/s air speed.

“…Soto and Adeli conducted a comprehensive review on the applications of TMDs in high‐rise buildings and towers. Very recently, a novel type of TMD, termed energy regenerative TMD, was proposed for both vibration control and energy‐harvesting functions . The energy‐dissipating dampers in conventional TMDs are replaced by electromagnetic (EM) dampers, which convert a portion of damping energy into electric energy to be harvested and stored by an energy‐harvesting circuit (EHC) .…”

Summary This study investigates a novel energy regenerative tuned mass damper (TMD) with dual functions—vibration control and energy harvesting—in a high‐rise building. The energy regenerative TMD consists of a pendulum‐type TMD, an electromagnetic damper, and an energy‐harvesting circuit. A simple optimal design method for energy regenerative TMD is proposed, in which a fixed duty‐cycle buck‐boost converter is employed as the energy‐harvesting circuit to optimize the energy‐harvesting efficiency and damping coefficient of the TMD. This study is organized into two main tasks: (a) characterizing and modeling the energy regenerative TMD through laboratory testing of a scaled prototype and (b) evaluating the vibration control and energy‐harvesting performance of the energy regenerative TMD when applied in a 76‐story wind‐excited benchmark building in consideration of the nonlinearities in the energy regenerative TMD. The simulations reveal that the harvested electric power averages from hundreds of watts to kilowatts level when the mean wind speed ranges 8–25 m/s. Meanwhile, the building vibration is mitigated with the control performance comparable to the optimally designed passive TMD in a wide range of wind speed. The results in this study clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the dual‐function energy regenerative TMD when applied to building structures.

“…Electromagnetic (EM) transducers are widely used for this purpose. Transducers can be coupled to a permanent-magnet synchronous machine [1], or linear motion EM devices [2,10], which can be used for both vibration damping and energy harvesting. An energy harvesting-enabled tuned mass-damper-inerter system comprises a mass, grounded via an electromagnetic motor (energy harvester)-inerter layout [8].…”

Shock absorbers allow the damping of suspension vibrations, by dissipating kinetic energy. This energy theoretically can be harvested; however, practical solutions are not easily obtainable. This paper is dedicated to analyzing and evaluating the vibration energy in a vehicle's suspension that is generated by road excitations. Also, it estimates the possible amount of harvested energy required to diminish accelerations of the vehicle body, the driver, or the passenger center of mass. The control of damper is realized by optimizing the best damping coefficient for different road roughness. Analytical results, obtained from the proposed dynamic model of the car, were compared with experimental data, showing a good coherence between them. These results allow us to evaluate the amount of energy circulating within shock absorbers and give information about the amount of the possible harvested energy. There is a very good relationship between energy needed for control and gained energy.
