Energy Harvesting from Ambient Random Vibrations
• It is an utmost goal to power wireless sensor nodes from energy
scavenged from the ambient environment.
• The energy harvesting from ambient vibration with piezoelectric cantilever
beam structure has been proven to be one of the best approach to
scavenge energy from ambient vibrations due to the high energy density
nature of piezoelectric materials.
• The state of the art vibration energy harvesting devices can generate
power in milliwatts level.

Theoretical Analysis
• The mechanical and electrical behavior around the 1st resonant
frequency in bending direction which power harvesting devices
usually adopted can be expressed in equivalent circuit model.
– The transformer in the circuit model denotes a mechanical to electrical energy
transformation.
– The voltage source E1 denotes a external force
– The RmLmCm in mechanical branch denotes equivalent circuit parameters in the
mechanical oscillation.
– The C0 in the electrical side denotes the static capacitance of parallel electrode plates
which is shunted with the external electrical load.

Experimental Setup
• The experimental setup is composed of a piezoelectric cantilever beam
clamped at one end fixed on a vibrating shaker.
• The piezoelectric cantilever beam used here is bimorph type.
– The upper panel was used in the frequency tuning purpose.
– The lower piezoelectric panel on the beam is then used to harvest energy.

Results of Network Analysis
• The two extreme conditions short circuit and open circuit conditions, the
resonant frequencies are 91.5Hz and 94.5Hz respectively.
• The 3Hz range is the tunable bandwidth on this system.
– Resonant frequency of the system can be changing in this range by
switching in different capacitive loads.
