Abstract

Scavenging energy from external vibration with low-frequencies and low-level intensities has always been a huge challenge for the energy harvesting. To remedy this key issue, this study is to present a novel multi-stable electromagnetic transduction energy harvesting system by adjusting the geometric parameters of linear springs. Here, we prove that the multi-stable energy harvesting system composed of a nonlinear restoring mechanism can significantly improve the efficiency of the energy converter. The electromechanical model is set up, and the corresponding equations are derived by the Extended Averaging Method and Fokker–Planck equation analysis. The response under harmonic excitation exhibits that, compared to a mono-stable and a bi-stable system, with a tri-stable or a quad-stable system, we can achieve a higher-energy interwell motion with large-amplitude periodic oscillation, leading to significant increases of the harvested current and power. Moreover, improved the expected value of the mean square current and mean harvested power can also be attained under the Gaussian white noise with a small intensity. The results show that the proposed multi-stable system is a feasible design that can improve the power capture performance of energy harvesting from low-level excitations.
