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 ...
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 ...
