Abstract

This paper presents the cantilever-type vibrational piezoelectric energy harvester for wireless applications. The physical dimensions of the structure are optimized using parametric sweep analysis for beam length, width and thickness. The modal analysis is carried out for the computation of the resonance frequency. The stationary analysis is performed for the evaluation of displacement, von Mises stress, electric potential and total electric energy at 1 g (1 g = 9.8 m/s2) to 5 g input acceleration. The structure presents in this paper has low structure volume, stress with reasonable electric potential and total electric energy. This structure is appropriate for implementation as low-frequency energy harvester.
