Vibration Energy Harvesters (VEHs): basic operating principles

Inertial generators are more flexible than direct-force devices because they require only one point of attachment to a moving structure, allowing a greater degree of miniaturization.

Conversion techniques comparison

Technique Advantages Drawbacks

Piezoelectric • high output voltages • well adapted for

miniaturization• high coupling in single crystal• no external voltage source

needed

• expensive• small coupling for

piezoelectric thin films • large load optimal

impedance required (MΩ)• Fatigue effect

Electrostatic • suited for MEMS integration• good output voltage (2-10V)• possiblity of tuning

electromechanical coupling• Long-lasting

• need of external bias voltage• relatively low power density

at small scale

Electromagnetic • good for low frequencies (5-100Hz)

• no external voltage source needed

• suitable to drive low impedances

• inefficient at MEMS scales: low magnetic field, micro-magnets manufacturing issues

• large mass displacement required.

• narrow bandwidth that implies constrained resonant frequency-tuned applications

• Non-adaptation to variable vibration sources

• small inertial mass and high resonant frequency at micro/nano-scale -> most of vibration sources are below 100 Hz

Main limits of resonant VEHs

At 20% off the resonance

the power falls by 80-90%

Bandwidth figure of merit

Frequency range within which the output power is less than 1 dBbelow its maximum value

45

Conclusionso Most of vibrational energy sources are random and present low frequency content.

o Linear vibration energy harvesters are limited and application dependent.

o The efficiency of Vibration Energy Harvesting can be improved with nonlinear approaches such as:

o Freqeuncy tuning

o Multimodal systems

o Freqeuncy-up converters, impacting masses

o Bistable nonlinear systems

o There’s plenty of room for improvement at level of

o nonlinear dynamics,

o material properties,

o miniaturization procedures,

o efficient conditioning electronics.

o In general nonlinear systems like bistable/multistable oscillators are the best choice for wideband vibration harvesting

46

Technical challenges

o Miniaturization issues: improving coupling coefficient at small scale and power density

o Improvements of piezoelectric-material properties

o Improving capacitive design

o Increasing remanent magnetic filed in micro magnets

o Research on electrets

o Efficient conditioning electronics

o Mechanical rectification ?

o Efficient Integrated design

o Power-aware operation of the powered device
