Due to piezoelectric property of regenerated cellulose paper, a green energy harvester using an electro-active paper (EAPap) was studied. In order to design the green energy harvester, we simulated cymbal type energy harvesting structures for single and multi-stacked layers of EAPap films. From the simulation, the optimized material orientation, thickness of harvesting structure was selected. By measuring of the induced output voltage by applying stress on energy harvester will be explained in detail. Therefore we propose the feasibility of the nature-friendly piezoelectric EAPap as a new green energy harvesting material.

This paper presents an electromagnetic kinetic energy harvester which is suitable for supplying power for body-worn sensors and personal electric devices. Human motions are investigated by measuring the acceleration signal at each points of the body during walking and running. The dynamic characteristics of the harvester can be calculated from the transfer function of the system. The transduction factor can be calculated from the electromagnetic field analysis by Maxwell software. The prototype of the harvester is designed and manufactured. The theoretical power characteristics are compared with the experiment results.

In general, tires require various sensors and power supply devices, such as batteries, to obtain information such as pressure, temperature, acceleration, and the friction coefficient between the tire and the road in real time. However, these sensors have a size limitation because they are mounted on a tire, and their batteries have limited usability due to short replacement cycles, leading to additional replacement costs. Therefore, vibration energy harvesting technology, which converts the dynamic strain energy generated from the tire into electrical energy and then stores the energy in a power supply, is advantageous. In this study, the output voltage and power generated from piezoelectric elements are predicted through finite element analysis under static state and transient state conditions, taking into account the dynamic characteristics of tires. First, the tire and piezoelectric elements are created as a finite element model and then the natural frequency and mode shapes are identified through modal analysis. Next, in the static state, with the piezoelectric element attached to the inside of the tire, the voltage distribution at the contact surface between the tire and the road is examined. Lastly, in the transient state, with the tire rotating at the speeds of 30 km/h and 50 km/h, the output voltage and power characteristics of the piezoelectric elements attached to four locations inside the tire are evaluated.

이 연구는 평소에 주변에 상존하지만 버려지는 미활용 에너지를 수확하여 전기로 생산하는 에너지하베스팅에 관한 것이다. 이 연구에서는 다양한 에너지원들 중에서 도로나 주차장을 주행하는 차량의 진동과 압력을 동시에 활용하는 하이브리드 방식의 에너지 하베스터를 개발하였다. 1단계 연구에서는 프로토타입 에너지하베스터, 이를 개선된 하이브리드 모듈, 그리고 하이브리드 모듈의 성능을 개선한 최종 모듈을 개발하였으며, 그 결과는 이전 논문으로 발표하였다. 본 논문은 최종 개발된 하이브리드 모듈을 실제 주차장에 설치하여 차량의 주행에 따른 압력과 진동, 그리고 차량주행 속도에 따른 발전성능을 측정하고 앞서 발표된 실험실 조건에서의 측정결과와 비교하였다. 선행연구에서 수행한 실험실 조건에서의 에너지블록의 최대전력은 1회 가진시 1.066W, 5회연속 가진시 1.830W로 측정되었다. 반면에 이 연구에서 실시한 실제 주차장 주행차량 속도별 측정결과는 5km/h 주행시 평균 0.310W, 10km/h에서 0.670W, 20km/h에서 1.250W, 30km/h에서 2.1600W로 측정되었다. 즉, 차량의 주행속도가 높을수록 발전성능은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실험실조건에 대비해서 주행속도 20km/h까지는 발전성능이 떨어지며, 실험실 조건의 1회 가진시 대비해서는 20km/h이상, 그리고 5회연속가진에 대비해서는 30km/h 이상일 때 발전성능이 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 이는 실험실과 실제차량이라는 재하조건의 차이로 사료된다. 따라서 향후 도로용 에너지블록의 적용은 주차장 조건보다는 주행도로용으로 활용하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

This paper describes the design and analysis of AlN piezoelectric micro energy harvester. The harvester was designed to convert ambient vibration energy to electrical power as a AlN piezoelectric material compatible with CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process. To cut off the leakage current, AlN was used as the insulating layer. Also, Mo was used for the excellent c-axis crystal growth as the bottom electrode. The AlN harvester which it has the low operating frequency was designed by using the ANSYS FEA (finite element analysis). From the simulation results, the resonance frequency of designed model is about 360 Hz and analyzed the bending mode, displacement and expectation output.

This paper describes the design and analyses of vibration driven electromagnetic energy harvester with high power generation which is suitable for supplying power generator from human body motion. The proposed harvester consists of magnet, coil, and SM (Soft magnetic Material). In order to generate more induced voltage, the SM to concentrate flux lines from end of magnetic poles was arranged into insert moving magnet. Each model was designed and analyzed by using ANSYS software to simulation. The maximum power is generated when load resistance of $1303\;{\Omega}$ is equal to coil resistance. The generated maximum power of for harvesters with SM is $677.85\;{\mu}W$ and 5.46 times higher than without SM at 6 Hz vibration frequency.
