On the lateral instability analysis of MEMS comb-drive electrostatic transducers
Binh Duc Truong, Cuong Phu Le, Einar Halvorsen
This paper investigates the lateral pull-in effect of an in-plane overlap-varying transducer. The instability is induced by the translational and rotational displacements. Based on…
Analysis of MEMS electrostatic energy harvesters electrically configured as voltage multipliers
Binh Duc Truong, Cuong Phu Le, Einar Halvorsen
This paper presents the analysis of an efficient alternative interface circuit for MEMS electrostatic energy harvesters. It is entirely composed by diodes and capacitors. Based on…
Theoretical analysis of electrostatic energy harvester configured as Bennet's doubler based on Q-V cycles
Binh Duc Truong, Cuong Phu Le, Einar Halvorsen
This paper presents theoretical analysis of a MEMS electrostatic energy harvester configured as the Bennet's doubler. Steady-state operation of the doubler circuit can be approxima…
Synthesis of optimal controls and numerical optimization for the vibration-based energy harvesters
Thuy T. T. Le, Binh D. Truong, Felix Jost +3
This work is devoted to demonstration of the analysis on optimizing the output power harvested from vibration energy harvester.
Optimal Load and Stiffness for Displacement-Constrained Vibration Energy Harvesters
Einar Halvorsen
The power electronic interface to a vibration energy harvester not only provides ac-dc conversion, but can also set the electrical damping to maximize output power under displaceme…
Fundamental issues in nonlinear wideband-vibration energy harvesting
Einar Halvorsen
Mechanically nonlinear energy harvesters driven by broadband vibrations modeled as white noise are investigated. We derive an upper bound on output power versus load resistance and…
