“…PZN-PT or PZT) are used to improve the coupling coefficient of the global system. By using (58) and (59), the maximal value of ℛ can be determined for given materials and is limited by and 31 2 . As an example, for PMN-PT and PZT materials in plane stress configuration associated to steel substrate, the optimal thicknesses ratio are 2.3 and 1.5 respectively and the maximal values of ℛ are 0.74 and 0.82 respectively.…”

“…Concerning the aging effects, Hoang et al [6] measured a decrease of around 6% of the resonant frequency of their piezoelectric cantilevers after 6.7 billon cycles. Furthermore, a drift of 1% of the resonant frequency of the harvester of Benchemoul et al [58] dedicated to HVAC systems led to a decrease of 30% of the harvested power compared to a frequency adjusted case. In order to harvest vibration energy from the above-mentioned environments, a harvester with a frequency bandwidth of at least 10% seems unavoidable to solve the problems of frequency shifts.…”

“…In order to lie within the range of reported HVAC vents vibration frequencies [58,59], we designed a new prototype with a short-circuit resonant frequency of 52,5 Hz. The new prototype shares the same dimensions with the PZT W devices depicted in Table 2, while the proof mass is made of aluminum instead of steel.…”

“…The signal generator sends an alternative signal to a power amplifier, which actuates the electromagnetic shaker. The PZT prototype fixed on the shaker is subjected to a sinusoidal excitation at frequencies ranging from 46 Hz to 65 Hz and having an amplitude of 0.98 m/s² (corresponding to the acceleration level indicated in [58]). The prototype is connected to the PSSECE circuit, which transmits the extracted power in an off-chip storage capacitor of 94µF.…”

Strongly coupled piezoelectric cantilevers for broadband vibration energy harvesting

Vibration energy harvesters based on piezoelectric resonators are promising for powering Wireless Sensors Nodes (WSNs). Yet, any mismatch between the resonant frequency of traditional harvesters and the vibration frequency can drastically decrease the scavenged power and make them ineffective. Electrical techniques able to tune the resonant frequency of piezoelectric harvesters has been proposed as a solution and opens up new perspectives. To be fully competitive, this approach requires energy harvesters with very strong global electromechanical coupling coefficients k² (>10%), whose design remains a challenge today. This work reports on a method to design strongly coupled piezoelectric cantilevers thanks to an analytical approach based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method and a two degrees-of-freedom model, which considers the proof mass inertia effects. Through an expression of the coupling coefficient, we provide design guidelines, which are experimentally validated. We show that a long proof mass is a very effective configuration to maximize the global electromechanical coupling coefficient and consequently the frequency bandwidth of the system. Three proposed prototypes exhibit some of the strongest squared global electromechanical coupling coefficients k² of the state-of-the-art of piezoelectric harvesters (16.6% for the PMN-PT cantilever, 11.3% and 16.4% for the narrow and wide PZT-5A cantilevers respectively) and demonstrate a wide bandwidth behavior (10.1%, 7.8% and 11.3% of the central frequency respectively). Using a strongly coupled prototype based on PZT-5A leveraged by a dedicated integrated circuit, we experimentally show that it can harvest enough power (more than 100µW) to supply a WSN over a frequency bandwidth as large as 21%.

This paper presents an improvement on the RF-DC rectifier with the self-bias diode-connected MOS transistors to achieve a wide input power range. The proposed design utilized a dual voltage polarity to bias the rectifying PMOS and NMOS with a positive and negative DC potential respectively. This biasing potential enables the gate of the transistor to be boosted above the output voltage or below the rectifier ground to minimize the leakage current. A proposed 3-stage rectifier design is simulated using a 55nm BCD technology and occupies an area of 0.064 mm 2 . The post-layout simulation results show a 75.3% power conversion efficiency (PCE) at -7dBm, -22.5dBm sensitivity and an input power range of 21.2dB when operating at the 900MHz input RF frequency with a 100kΩ load.
