With the development of science and technology, the smaller sizes generator, the more attention by people. The main purpose of this article is to manufacture three-phase nanogenerator and piezoelectric nanogenerator under vibration, and their working principle are introduced and their performances are studied. The results show that, using the present nanomaterials, three-phase nanogenerator and piezoelectric nanogenerator can be prepared. In ambient vibration condition, piezoelectric materials produce larger rated current and voltage. However, copper laps cutting magnetic line of force produce less rated current and voltage. So the piezoelectric nanogenerator can be separately used to supply power. It may produce higher voltage, current and power if three-phase nanogenerator and piezoelectric nanogenerator in series-parallel connection, and there is commercial value.

The results show that, using the present nanomaterials, piezoelectric materials can be prepared. When its wind in copper laps, under the situation of micro pulse vibration its can turn into electrical energy, thus yield piezoelectric nanogenerators. In ambient vibration condition, piezoelectric materials produce larger rated current and voltage. However, copper laps cutting magnetic line of force produce less rated current and voltage.

Four arrays of three MFC patches, glued onto a rotating shaft, were compared in laboratory research. The first array was based on a delta circuit and equipped with one three-phase rectifier; the second array was based on a star circuit and equipped with one three-phase rectifier; the third array was based on parallel connection and equipped with three full-bridge rectifiers; and the fourth array was based on a series connection and equipped with three full-bridge rectifiers. The array based on a delta circuit generated the highest value of maximal electric power in comparison to the rest of arrays. It was experimentally observed that the arrays based on delta or star circuits of MFC patches and equipped with one three-phase rectifier generated a higher value of maximal power than arrays based on the connections of three full-bridge rectifiers, connected in parallel or in series. The array based on parallel connection generated the highest maximal value of current in comparison to rest of arrays for low values of load resistance (from 10 kΩ to 40 kΩ depending on the experiment). For higher values of load resistance arrays based on delta circuits and star circuits generated higher values of current than the array based on parallel connection.

With the development of science and technology, the smaller generator was got more and more attention for people. In this article, through manufacture of single-phase and three-phase micro vibrations nanogenerator, the working principle of single and three-phase micro vibrations nanogenerator are introduced, and their performances are studied. Results show that, the pulse micro vibrations energy can be changed into rotating kinetic energy, then it can cause the rotation of the coil which produces electrical energy by cutting magnetic line. Energy conversion rate is exceed 80% for nanogenerator. Now, we can produce single, three-phase micro vibrations nanogenerator using the existing nanometer material. The power of three-phase micro vibrations nanogenerator is higher about 50% than the single one, it’s power factor is also slightly higher than that of single-phase. It indicates that three-phase micro vibration nanogenerator is better than single one.

A novel piezoceramic stack-based smart aggregate (PiSSA) with piezoceramic wafers in series or parallel connection is developed to increase the efficiency and output performance over the conventional smart aggregate with only one piezoelectric patch. Due to the improvement, PiSSA is suitable for situations where the stress waves easily attenuate. In PiSSA, the piezoelectric wafers are electrically connected in series or parallel, and three types of piezoelectric wafers with different electrode patterns are designed for easy connection. Based on the theory of piezo-elasticity, a simplified one-dimensional model is derived to study the electromechanical, transmitting and sensing performance of PiSSAs with the wafers in series and parallel connection, and the model was verified by experiments. The theoretical results reveal that the first resonance frequency of PiSSAs in series and parallel decreases as the number or thickness of the PZT wafers increases, and the first electromechanical coupling factor increases firstly and then decrease gradually as the number or thickness increases. The results also show that both the first resonance frequency and the first electromechanical coupling factor of PiSSA in series and parallel change no more than 0.87% as the Young’s modulus of the epoxy increases from 0.5 to 1.5 times 3.2 GPa, which is helpful for the fabrication of PiSSAs. In addition, the displacement output of PiSSAs in parallel is about 2.18–22.49 times that in series at 1–50 kHz, while the voltage output of PiSSAs in parallel is much less than that in parallel, which indicates that PiSSA in parallel is much more suitable for working as an actuator to excite stress waves and PiSSA in series is suitable for working as a sensor to detect the waves. All the results demonstrate that the connecting type, number and thickness of the PZT wafers should be carefully selected to increase the efficiency and output of PiSSA actuators and sensors. This study contributes to providing a method to investigate the characteristics and optimize the structural parameters of the proposed PiSSAs.

Piezoelectric polymer cellular films have been developed and improved in the past decades. These piezoelectric materials are based on the polarization of the internal cells by means of induced discharges in the gas inside the cells. Internal discharges are driven by an external applied electric field. With this polarization method, cellular polypropylene (PP) polymers exhibit a high piezoelectric coefficient d33 and have been investigated because of their low dielectric polarization, high resistivity, and flexibility. Charging polymers foams is normally obtained by applying a corona discharge to the surface with a single tip electrode-plane arrangement or a triode electrode, which consists of a tip electrode-plane structure with a controlled potential intermediate mesh. Corona charging allows the surface potential of the sample to rise without breakdown or surface flashover. A charging method has been developed without corona discharge, and this has provided good results. In our work, a method has been developed to polarize polypropylene foams by applying an insulated high-voltage electrode on the surface of the sample. The dielectric layer in series with the sample allows for a high internal electric field to be reached in the sample but avoids dielectric breakdown of the sample. The distribution of the electric field between the sample and the dielectric barrier has been calculated. Experimental results with three different electrodes present good outcome in agreement with the calculations. High d33 constants of about 880 pC/N have been obtained. Mapping of the d33 constant on the surface has also been carried out showing good homogeneity on the area under the electrode.

Abstract An improved harmonic detection method based on average arithmetic is proposed. According to the research results, the designed solution uses an LPF (low-pass-filter) and a mean value module connected in series instead of the conventional mean value module, and simultaneously, a three-phase voltage phase-locked module instead of commonly used PLL (phase lock loop) module is applied in order to reduce the influence caused by three-phase distorted voltage and rapid variation of load. The experimental results show that the application of this solution leads to increase in the accuracy of harmonics detection for distorted three-phase voltage and rapid variation of load.

ABSTRACTPiezoelectric Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) has been proven to be an attractive technology for harvesting small energy from the ambient vibration. Recent advancements in piezoelectric materials and harvester structural design, individually or in combination, have improved MEMS energy harvesters to achieve high enough power density, compactness and ultra wide bandwidth, bringing us closer towards battery-less autonomous sensors systems and networks in near future. Among the breakthroughs, non-linear resonating beam for wide bandwidth resonance is the key development to enable robust operation of MEMS energy harvesters over the unpredictable and uncontrollable frequency spectra of ambient vibration. We expect that a coin size harvester will be able to harvest about 100μW continuous power at below 100 Hz and less than 0.5 g input vibration and at reasonable cost.
