Frequency up conversion approach to scavenge mechanical energy from an electromagnetic digital actuator. (November 2015) - Yan, Linjuan
Abstract: This paper reports the practical design and experimental testing of a piezoelectric energy reclamation system. The presented system aims at scavenging energy from a miniaturized electromagnetic digital actuator for additional function such as obtains the discrete position information for enhanced reliability. Based on frequency up conversion technique, and the considered actuator dynamical responses, a piezoelectric energy harvester has been experimentally evaluated. In plane integration is the next step.
