Equivalent Circuit Modeling and Experimental Verification for Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvester
An equivalent circuit modeling strategy for piezoelectric vibration energy harvester is proposed. According to electromechanical analogy
the modeling for piezoelectric vibration energy harvester can be converted from complex mechanical field to purely electrical field by combining finite element analysis and electronic circuit analysis. The power predicting models of vibration energy harvester with two paralleled piezoelectric layers for linear and AC-DC nonlinear load circuits are established and analyzed by means of this equivalent circuit strategy. Comparatively
it is found that the maximum error between the results of voltage and power responses from the equivalent circuit model and the results from experimental measurements gets less than 5%. The equivalent circuit modeling strategy avoids complicated derivation in theoretical modeling and keeps the predicting accuracy
especially for modeling the piezoelectric vibration energy harvester with complex mechanical and electrical boundary conditions.
