This paper presents mathematical modeling of an energy harvester (EH) for a wireless structure health monitoring (SHM) system in wind turbine blades. The harvester consists of a piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) beam, a gravity-induced disk, and magnets attached to both the beam and the disk. An electromechanical model of the proposed EH is developed using the energy method with repelling magnetic force considered. The three coupled equations — the motion of the disk, the vibration of the beam, and the voltage output — are derived and solved using ODE45 in MATLAB software. The result showed the blade rotation speed affects the output angular velocity of disk and the output PEH voltage. That is, as the blade speed increases, the disk angular velocity becomes nonlinear and chaotic which is more beneficial to generate larger power.

In this paper, we present a concept, simulation and characterization results of a dual-frequency piezoelectric energy harvester with magnetic frequency tuning capabilities. We demonstrate that the frequency-agile multi-mode capability enables the device to harvest on a wider range of operating frequencies than classical vibration harvesters.

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of a magnetically coupled piezoelectric energy harvesters under low frequency excitation, where the angle of external magnetic field is adjustable. The nonlinear dynamic equation with the identified nonlinear magnetic force is derived to describe the electromechanical interaction of variable inclination angle harvesters. The effect of excitation amplitude and frequency on dynamic behavior is proposed by using the phase trajectory and bifurcation diagram. The numerical analysis shows that a rotatable magnetically coupling energy harvesting system exhibits rich nonlinear characteristics with the change of external magnet inclination angle. The nonlinear route to and from large amplitude high energy motion can be clearly observed. It is demonstrated numerically and experimentally that lumped parameters equations with an identified polynomials for magnetic force could adequately describe the characteristics of nonlinear energy harvester. The rotating magnetically coupled energy harvester possesses the usable frequency bandwidth over a wide range of low frequency excitation by adjusting the angular orientation.
