Performance of a novel dual-magnet tri-stable piezoelectric energy harvester subjected to random excitation

Shuailing Sun et al.

Summary: A novel dual-magnet TPEH with only one external magnet is proposed in this study, and the system transitions from a tri-stable state to a bi-stable state and then to a mono-stable state as the magnet distance increases, as revealed by the analysis of magnetic force expression and potential function. Simulation results show better output performance in the bi-stable state than in the tri-stable state under low excitation, while the output performance in the tri-stable state is better than in the bi-stable state under large excitation levels.
