Bifurcations and chaos in electrostatic vibration energy harvesters

Blokhina, Elena ; Galayko, Dimitri ; Wade, Rhona ; Basset, Philippe ; Feely, Orla (IEEE, 2012-05)

In this paper, we present an analysis of an electrostatic vibration harvester operating in the constant-charge mode. The goal of the study is to bound regions of control parameters where the system displays steady-state ...
Effect of energy harvesting network reactive support on transmission system voltage performance

Cuffe, Paul ; Smith, Paul ; Keane, Andrew (CIRED, 2011-06)

It is common to operate distributed generators (DGs) at fixed inductive power factors to overcome voltage rise constraints on distribution networks. This approach increases distribution system reactive power demand, which ...
Limit on Converted Power in Resonant Electrostatic Vibration Energy Harvesters

Blokhina, Elena ; Galayko, Dimitri ; Harte, Peter ; Basset, Philippe ; Feely, Orla (American Institute of Physics, 2012-10-24)

Based on the formal analysis of a resonant electrostatic vibration energy harvester operating in constant-charge mode with a gap-closing transducer, we show that the system displays universal behaviour patterns. In this ...
Steady-State Oscillations in Resonant Electrostatic Vibration Energy Harvesters

Blokhina, Elena ; Galayko, Dimitri ; Basset, Philippe ; Feely, Orla (IEEE, 2012)

In this paper, we present a formal analysis and description of the steady-state behavior of an electrostatic vibration energy harvester operating in constant-charge mode and using different types of electromechanical ...
