| Summary: | The main objective of this paper is to optimise energy harvesting design of piezoelectric and magnetic based on vibration excitation; an alternate method for predicting the power output of a bimorph cantilever beam using
finite element method with harmonic analysis solver. Both power output generated from the electromagnetic and the piezoelectric were combined to form one unit of energy. In addition, the optimum model was analysed using
parametric optimisation analysis solver in finite element analysis to produce an optimum power output. The result showed a maximum power output of 56.66 μW from 47.94 Hz, 4.905 m/s2, and 0.18 cm3 generated for resonance
frequency with acceleration and volume. The decreasing size of the harvester with a low natural frequency produces a high-power output. |
