A Broadband Vibration-Based Energy Harvester Using an Array of Piezoelectric Beams Connected by Springs
Piezoelectric cantilevered beams have been widely used as vibration-based energy harvesters. Nevertheless, these devices have a narrow frequency band and if the excitation is slightly different there is a significant drop in the level of power generated. To handle this problem, the present investiga...
