In this study, a new electric power generation measurement system was developed for piezoelectric energy harvesting using unimorph-type piezoceramics. Relationships between electric power and material constants such as d33, d31, g31, k31, e33T/e0, s11E, Qe and Qm were investigated using various lead zirconium titanate (Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, PZT) ceramics with different material constants. Using the equipment, pulse-type stress was applied to unimorph-type piezoceramics. Then, optimum measurement conditions were determined. Under these conditions, the electric power for piezoelectric energy harvesting was measured as a function of the material constants. Finally, it was clarified that for piezoelectric energy harvesting using a unimorph-type device, the figure of merit was combination of the 3 kinds of material constants such as large d31, small e33T/e0, and large s11E.

The goal of this paper is to review current methods of energy harvesting, while focusing on piezoelectric energy harvesting. The piezoelectric energy harvesting technique is based on the materials’ property of generating an electric field when a mechanical force is applied. This phenomenon is known as the direct piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric transducers can be of different shapes and materials, making them suitable for a multitude of applications. To optimize the use of piezoelectric devices in applications, a model is needed to observe the behavior in the time and frequency domain. In addition to different aspects of piezoelectric modeling, this paper also presents several circuits used to maximize the energy harvested.
