A multi-stable ultra-low frequency energy harvester using a nonlinear pendulum and piezoelectric transduction for self-powered sensing

Hailing Fu et al.

Summary: This paper presents the design, modeling, and experimental verification of a quad-stable energy harvester that utilizes a nonlinear pendulum and piezoelectric transduction to harness ultra-low frequency random motions. The use of multiple stable positions created by magnetic forces allows effective conversion of low-frequency motions into oscillations, resulting in enhanced output power. The theoretical model considers magnetic interaction, piezoelectric conversion, and pendulum dynamics to describe the harvester's electromechanical behavior. Experimental results confirm the efficacy of the harvester and a parametric study demonstrates the influence of different parameters on output power and operating frequency range. The integration of the harvester with power management circuitry enables battery-free wireless sensing for IoT applications.

Piotr Micek et al.

Summary: The study compared four arrays of three MFC patches glued onto a rotating shaft in a laboratory setting, each with different circuit configurations and rectifiers. The array based on a delta circuit generated the highest maximum electric power among the arrays. Experimentally, it was found that arrays based on delta or star circuits with one three-phase rectifier produced higher power values compared to arrays with three full-bridge rectifiers connected in parallel or in series. The array with parallel connection had the highest maximum current values for low load resistances, while arrays based on delta and star circuits had higher current values for higher load resistances compared to the array with parallel connection.
