Characterisation of vibration energy harvesters

Vibration energy harvesting devices based on piezoelectric bimorphs can be widely applied. In this work the results of an analytical simulation of their behaviour and the respective FEM validation of the obtained results are presented. A preliminary experimental assessment of the performances of commercially available devices is also described. The developed analytical and experimental tools will be used to validate the performances of optimised harvester configurations.
