Abstract:As the output voltage of vibration energy harvester reaches peak point at resonance, the resonant frequency should be designed near ambient vibration frequency. To match the resonant frequency with ambient, single degree of freedom model was employed to analyze the vibration energy harvester with a cantilever and a tip mass. Piezoelectric micro prototypes were fabricated and tested, and the maximum error of resonant frequency was 6%. The resonant frequency of the prototype was adjusted 10.5 Hz by increasing mass. In order to approach ambient vibration frequency of 50 Hz, the resonant frequency of prototype was tuned from 58.7 Hz to 50.4 Hz, and the output voltage was increased 4 times.
