Quantitative Power Flow Characterization of Energy Harvesting Shock Absorbers by Considering Motion Bifurcation

The Study and Development of Energy Harvesting Vibration Absorbers

Vibrational energy harvesting seeks to convert ambient energy into electricity when battery replacement or line transmission is infeasible or impracticable. Electromechanical mass-spring harvesters are designed to exhibit a resonance frequency close to the principal vibrational frequency of the main or environmental system; excited near to resonance, the harvesters convert the kinetic or potent...

Considering Effect of Energy Market on Reactive Power Market

In this paper, a new structure for reactive power market is presented. Considering reactive power losses caused by active power flow in the reactive power market is the main purpose of this paper. Hence, this study tries to improve reactive power market and create fair competition in reactive power generation.

Electromagnetic Shock Absorbers

Automobiles and trucks have shock absorbers to damp out the vibration experienced due to roughness of the roads. However, energy in conventional shock absorbers gets dissipated as heat and not used in any way. Regenerative electromagnetic shock absorbers provide means for recovering the energy dissipated in shock absorbers. Electromagnetic shock absorbers for potential use in vehicles are fabri...

Energy Harvesting: Power at Small Scale

Energy harvesting is a new promising research area for portable electronics. Portable electronic devices have been typically limited by the finite lifetime and size of the internal batteries. This has been a constant conflict and tradeoff between battery size and device capabilities. For instance, cardiac pacemaker lifespan is mostly limited by battery size, which occupies at least half the ava...
