State of art: Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvesters

Abstract This paper explains two novel piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters. One is lumped masssingle-axis impact lead ball piezoelectric vibration energy harvester(LMPVEH) and the other is clamped free beam single-axis impact lead ball piezoelectric vibration energy harvester(CMPVEH). Both energy harvesters works under the striking mass of lead ball and under the principle of direct piezoelectric effect and the piezoelectric material is lead zirconate titanate (PZT-5H) .Single-axis impact lead ball novel piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters are demonstrated along with the literature review in the table format. And also explained the effect of temperature in the performance of energy harvesters. The output voltage for LMPVEH is 25 Volts and the CMPVEH is 98 V.
