Enhanced Energy Harvesting from Piezoceramic Using Hybrid Stimulations

Article Preview

Abstract:

Energy harvesting from ambient environment vibration is a potential method to supply the low-power consumption devices. This paper demonstrates a new method to proceed energy harvesting using a piezoceramic. Both the mechanical and electrical excitations (hybrid stimulation) have been exerted on a piezoceramic. Current was measured though a current amplifier to calculate the induced polarization. By comparing the hybrid stimulation and the pure mechanical one, it can be found that the hybrid stimulation method enable to amplifier the harvested energy, which is promising to be used in energy harvesting and sensor applications.
