This study examines effects of the splitter plate placed in the near wake of a circular cylinder on the performance of a piezoelectric wind energy harvester through wind tunnel experiments. The kinetic energy of the harvester is gained by wind-induced vibrations of the circular cylinder. The splitter plate is attached to the leeward side of the cylinder. The ratio of the splitter plate length to the diameter of the circular cylinder (L-sp/D) ranges from 0.25 to 2.00. After attaching the splitter plate with an appropriate length, the harvester is able to sustain large amplitude vibrations beyond the wind speed range corresponding to vortex-induced vibrations. Thus, the upper bound of the wind speed range for the harvester to harness wind energy is eliminated, which significantly increases the efficiency of the harvester. Compared to the different lengths of the splitter plate, 0.65D has been found to be the optimal length for maximizing the harvested power. Published by AIP Publishing.
