This paper, for the first time, presents a combined power extraction with adaptive full analogue power management module (PMM) for increased piezoelectric energy harvesting. The PMM is adaptive to variations in the amplitude and frequency of vibration subjected to the piezoelectric strain energy harvester (SEH) and adaptive to different connected electrical loads, where it is used to power up a wireless...
Harvesting means conserving or storing process. Today the need of the globalized world is harvesting of energy. Energy harvesting is a process through which energy can be extracted from different sources and conserved or stored for useful purposes. This process can be carried out for small, wireless autonomous device. Solar, wind & Vibration energy is typically harvested. This paper investigates...
Energy harvesting is generating energy from multiple sources. Energy is harvested from various sources like piezoelectric, solar cells, wind mills and other such modules. The wireless sensor networks are the networks that are made of small sensor devices like rain measure, environmental pressure etc. To power up the WSN and elongate its lifetime, piezoelectric energy harvester has been used. Low amount...
A torsion based shear mode energy harvester is used to power a wireless sensor module consisting of a microcontroller, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer and a wireless transmitter. A 10 cm3 energy harvester was used and was found to produce nearly 450 μW of maximum power through an optimal load resistance under 0.5 gpk acceleration excitation at its resonant frequency. This harvester was then...
This paper focuses on comparing the effects of varying degrees of electromechanical coupling in piezoelectric power harvesting systems on the dynamics of charging a storage capacitor. In order to gain an understanding of the behavior of these dynamics, a transducer whose vibrational dynamics are impacted very little by electrical energy extraction is compared to a transducer that displays strong electromechanical...
In piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH), with the use of the nonlinear technique named synchronized switching harvesting on inductor (SSHI), the harvesting efficiency can be greatly enhanced. Furthermore, the introduction of its self-powered feature makes this technique more applicable for standalone systems. In this article, a modified circuitry and an improved analysis for self-powered SSHI are...
Interest for harvesting energy from the environment to sustain the operational lifetime of any battery-driven electronic device like wireless sensor nodes has been growing tremendously. One prominent challenge with energy harvesting sources is the deficiency in energy supply to continuously power the electronic devices even with the rapid advancement in ultra low power microelectronic technology....
Numerous industrial and military applications require remote sensing of various machine and equipment operating parameters in locations where traditional power sources may not be available and long periods of unattended operation are required. Quite often, however, some source of vibrating energy may be present in operation of the machine in question. Herein, a piezoelectric source is efficiently...
