چکیده

This paper presents a tunable electromagnetic vibration-based micro-generator with closed loop frequency tuning. Frequency tuning is realized by applying an axial tensile force to the micro-generator. A closed-loop frequency tuning system has been developed to control the tuning process so that the generator always operates at the ambient vibration frequency to make the entire process automatic. Experimentally the resonant frequency has been successfully tuned from 67.6 to 98 Hz when various axial tensile forces were applied to the structure. The generator produced a power of 61.6 to 156.6 μW over the tuning range when excited at vibrations of 0.588 m⋅s.

Strategies for increasing the operating frequency range of vibration energy harvesters: a review

This review presents possible strategies to increase the operational frequency range of vibration-based micro-generators. Most vibration-based micro-generators are spring-mass-damper systems which generate maximum power when the resonant frequency of the generator matches the frequency of the ambient vibration. Any difference between these two frequencies can result in a significant decrease in...

Toward self-tuning adaptive vibration based micro-generators

The rapidly decreasing size, cost, and power consumption of wireless sensors has opened up the relatively new research field of energy harvesting. Recent years have seen an increasing amount of research on using ambient vibrations as a power source. An important feature of all of these generators is that they depend on the resonance frequency of the generator device being matched with the frequ...

Control of Flexible Link Robot using a Closed Loop Input-Shaping Approach

This paper is has addressed the Single Flexible Link Robot. The dynamical model is derived using Euler-Lagrange equation and then a proper controller is designed to suppress a  vibration based-on Input-Shaping (IS) method. But, IS control method is an open loop strategy. Due to the weakness of open loop control systems, a closed loop IS control system is proposed. The achieved closed loop c...
