A design optimization based on genetic algorithms for increasing power output performance of MEMS piezoelectric cantilevered energy harvesters has been performed. By employing genetic algorithms, the piezoelectric energy scavenging system with optimized shape and lateral geometries of a unimorph cantilever beam and a proof mass is simulated to achieve a power response improvement of ~1.8× in co...
متن کاملDesign and Optimization of Wideband Multimode Piezoelectric MEMS Vibration Energy Harvesters
To enlarge operating frequency bandwidth of the multimode energy harvesters, nonlinearity characteristics has to be well presented by the system configuration. Therefore, the conventional optimization techniques, which are solely based on human observation, are highly difficult and somehow impossible. In this paper we propose an efficient optimization technique for automating the design of nonl...
متن کاملSensor Design for Piezoelectric Cantilever Beam Energy Harvesters
Energy harvesting for the purpose of powering low power electronic sensor systems has received explosive attention in the last few years. A common device uses the piezoelectric effect for a cantilever beams at resonance to harvest ambient vibration energy. However most of these devices have a rectangular piezoelectric patch covering all or part of the beam. This paper considers the optimum desi...
