The paper presents a fast and reliable model identification technique for piezoelectric transducers based on an equivalent electromechanical circuit easily implementable on SPICE-like simulation tools. Model parameter extraction is simple and requires just standard and inexpensive laboratory equipment. Indeed, the equivalent circuit representation permits the evaluation of the response of a real energy harvesting system, where the electronic load is a synchronized switching converter which usually causes a significant feedback on the mechanical part of the system during energy extraction. Both simulation and measurements show that the damping effect is particularly important near resonance, where the adopted model is able to fit the experimental data and provides a more realistic description of the behavior of the system.

Abstract

The paper presents a fast and reliable model identification technique for piezoelectric transducers based on an equivalent electromechanical circuit easily implementable on SPICE-like simulation tools. Model parameter extraction is simple and requires just standard and inexpensive laboratory equipment. Indeed, the equivalent circuit representation permits the evaluation of the response of a real energy harvesting system, where the electronic load is a synchronized switching converter which usually causes a significant feedback on the mechanical part of the system during energy extraction. Both simulation and measurements show that the damping effect is particularly important near resonance, where the adopted model is able to fit the experimental data and provides a more realistic description of the behavior of the system.
