  • the phase between the voltage and the velocity is approximately 90 degrees because the system is close to open-circuit conditions. Therefore, in open-circuit conditions, it is reasonable to plot the velocity against voltage output as the electromechanical phase portrait (as an alternative to the conventional velocity against displacement phase portrait). From the experimental point of view, it is advantageous to plot these two independent measurements (voltage output of the piezoceramic against the velocity signal from the laser vibrometer) rather than integrating the experimental velocity history (as it typically results in a non-uniform drift).
  • FIG. 5A is a graph showing the velocity vs.
  • the forcing amplitude in the base excitation problem is proportional to the square of the frequency (/ oc 0. 1 X 0 ). Keeping the forcing amplitude/constant at different frequencies implies keeping the base acceleration amplitude the same. Hence the base displacement amplitudes are different. [000109] As shown in FIG. 6A, the electrical output of the piezo-magneto-elastic configuration is not considerably larger because the trajectory oscillates around one of its foci. That is, the forcing amplitude cannot overcome the attraction of the magnetic force at the respective focus. As a result, the piezo-magneto-elastic configuration oscillates on a low-energy orbit and its electrical response amplitude is indeed comparable to that of the piezo-elastic configuration.

  • FIG. 13C provides a configuration of a piezo-elastic system, which differs from the embodiment of the piezo-magneto-elastic system of FIG. 13B in that the magnets 1302 are removed.
  • An equally applicable description of the device/system includes describing the device as an energy harvesting device comprising: a) a PZT bender comprising a cantilevered beam with piezoceramic elements; and b) a plurality of magnets; wherein the beam is disposed a selected distance above and between the magnets, such that the beam is capable of exhibiting a three-equilibrium condition described by electromechanical equations (2) and (3):
  • v is the dimensionless voltage across the load resistance
  • is the dimensionless piezoelectric coupling term in the mechanical equation
  • K is the dimensionless piezoelectric coupling term in the electrical circuit equation
  • is the reciprocal of the dimensionless time constant ( ⁇ ⁇ x 1/ R 1 C where R 1 is the load resistance and C p is the equivalent capacitance of the piezoceramic layers); and wherein the device is capable of exhibiting a large-amplitude voltage response when subjected to seismic excitation at about resonance frequency and at off-resonance frequencies.
  • the set up of the piezo-magneto-elastic system provided in FIG. 13B is configured to provide such a three-equilibrium condition. Other configurations are also possible depending on the desired effect.
  • a harmonic base excitation amplitude of 0.5g (yielding an RMS value of approximately 0.35g) is applied at frequencies of 5 Hz, 6 Hz, 7 Hz and 8 Hz. From the previous discussion related to the open-circuit voltage output given with FIG. 12B, it is expected to obtain an order of magnitude larger power with the piezo-magneto-elastic device at three of these frequencies (5 Hz, 6 Hz and 8 Hz). However, it is anticipated to obtain larger power from the piezo-elastic configuration around its resonance and 7 Hz is close to the resonance frequency of this linear system (as can be noted from FIG. 12B).
  • FIGS. 14A-H shows the comparison of the average steady-state power vs. load resistance graphs of the piezo-magneto-elastic and piezo-elastic configurations at the frequencies of interest. Note that the excitation amplitudes (i.e., the base acceleration) of both configurations are very similar in all cases. As anticipated, the piezo-magneto-elastic energy harvester gives an order of magnitude larger power at 5 Hz, 6 Hz and 8 Hz whereas the piezo- elastic configuration gives larger power only at 7 Hz (by a factor of 2.3). The average power outputs read from these graphs for the optimum values of load resistance are listed in Table 1.
  • FIG. 15 shows the variation of the average electrical power outputs of both configurations with the excitation frequency (including the frequencies 5.5 Hz, 6.5 Hz and 7.5 Hz). It is important to notice in FIG. 15 that, at several frequencies, the non-resonant piezo- magneto-elastic energy harvester can indeed generate one order of magnitude more power for the same input. The resonant piezo-elastic energy harvester can generate larger power only within a narrow band around its fundamental resonance frequency. However, this power is not an order of magnitude larger than that of the piezo-magneto-elastic configuration (in qualitative agreement with FIGS. 6A-F).
  • the piezo-magneto-elastic configuration exhibits a much better broadband power generation performance provided that the input excitation results in oscillations on its high-energy orbits in the frequency range of interest. Given the frequency range and the amplitude of harmonic base excitation at these frequencies, the piezo-magneto-elastic energy harvester should be designed to catch these high-energy orbits at steady state.

  • such resonance is a nonlinear resonance that occurs in bistable systems when they are excited by noise, and if the noise level reaches a certain threshold. This phenomenon does not happen in monostable systems under noise excitation (such as simple cantilevers without any magnet).

  • FIG. 17 describes the use of the bistable magnetoelastic structure for electrostatic energy harvesting using the switching circuit referred from Roundy, S., Wright, P. and Rabaey,
  • FIG. 18 shows one way of implementing the magnetoelastic structure for electromagnetic energy harvesting.

  • the electromagnetic power output is proportional to the relative velocity between the coil and the magnet. See Beeby 2006 above.
  • the magnetoelastic configuration results in much larger vibration amplitudes (hence velocity amplitudes) than the conventional cantilever designs, it can improve the electrical power by an order of magnitude over a range of frequencies under harmonic excitation.

Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de la récupération d'énergie. Plus particulièrement, des modes de réalisation de l'invention se rapportent à des procédés, à des systèmes et à des dispositifs permettant de récupérer l'énergie à base de vibrations provenant d'une source de vibrations ambiantes. Des modes de réalisation spécifiques de la présente invention comprennent un dispositif de récupération d'énergie comprenant : a) une poutre ferromagnétique allongée en porte-à-faux ayant une base et une extrémité opposée ; b) une pluralité d'éléments piézo-céramiques raccordés de façon fonctionnelle à la base de la poutre ; c) un premier élément de support pour supporter la poutre au niveau de sa base ; et d) deux aimants permanents disposés sur un second élément de support, l'extrémité de base de la poutre étant raccordée de façon fonctionnelle à l'élément de support de telle sorte que la poutre soit suspendue dans le sens de la longueur depuis l'élément de support au niveau de sa base et que l'extrémité opposée de la poutre soit libre et soit disposée à une distance sélectionnée au-dessus des aimants et entre ces derniers. Les éléments piézo-céramiques sont raccordés de façon fonctionnelle en parallèle les uns par rapport aux autres de telle sorte qu'en fonctionnement, la poutre puisse récupérer l'énergie de vibration provenant d'une source d'excitation externe et que les éléments piézo-céramiques puissent convertir l'énergie des vibrations harmoniques ou aléatoires en énergie électrique. Le générateur piézo-magnéto-élastique entraîne une augmentation de 200 % de l'amplitude de la tension en circuit ouvert (ce qui augure une augmentation de 800 % de l'amplitude de puissance). Le générateur de puissance piézo-magnéto-élastique de l'invention peut être destiné à être utilisé lors d'une récupération d'énergie piézo-électrique ainsi que dans des techniques de récupération des énergies électromagnétique, électrostatique et magnétostrictive et dans leurs combinaisons hybrides avec des dispositifs similaires.
