Abstract:In order to study the coupling relationship among the vibration frequency, the internal impedance, the load and the output power of the piezoelectric energy harvester, the piezoelectriccircuit coupling analysis of the piezoelectric energy harvesters with different configurations of single crystal series, double crystal series, double crystal parallel is carried out based on ANSYS APDL software. The results show that the impedance of the energy harvester exhibits a nonlinear change with the vibration frequency, which reaches the minimum value at shortcircuit resonant frequency and reaches the maximum value at opencircuit resonance. The output power of the energy harvester reaches the optimal value when the internal and external impedances match. When the damping ratio of the energy harvester is relatively small, the optimal output power appears at shortcircuit resonant and opencircuit resonance. As the damping ratio gradually increases, the optimal output power occurs between shortcircuit resonant and opencircuit resonance, and there is only one peak.
