This paper presents an upright piezoelectric energy harvester (UPEH) with cylinder extension along its longitudinal direction. The UPEH can generate energy from low-speed wind by bending deformation produced by vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs). The UPEH has the advantages of less working space and ease of setting up an array over conventional vortex-induced vibration harvesters. The nonlinear distributed modeling method is established based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and aerodynamic vortex-induced force of the cylinder is obtained by the van der Pol wake oscillator theory. The fluid–solid–electricity governing coupled equations are derived using Lagrange’s equation and solved through Galerkin discretization. The effect of cylinder gravity on the dynamic characteristics of the UPEH is also considered using the energy method. The influences of substrate dimension, piezoelectric dimension, the mass of cylinder extension, and electrical load resistance on the output performance of harvester are studied using the theoretical model. Experiments were carried out and the results were in good agreement with the numerical results. The results showed that a UPEH configuration achieves the maximum power of 635.04 μW at optimum resistance of 250 kΩ when tested at a wind speed of 4.20 m/s. The theoretical results show that the UPEH can get better energy harvesting output performance with a lighter tip mass of cylinder, and thicker and shorter substrate in its synchronization working region. This work will provide the theoretical guidance for studying the array of multiple upright energy harvesters.

Modeling and analysis of a MEMS piezoelectric (PZT-Lead Zirconate Titanate) unimorph cantilever with different substrates are presented in this paper. Stainless steel and Silicon [Formula: see text] are considered as substrate. The design is intended for energy harvesting from ambient vibrations. The cantilever model is based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The generated voltage and power, the current density, resonance frequencies and tip displacement for different geometry (single layer and array structure) have been analyzed using finite element method. Variation of output power and resonant frequency for array structure with array elements connected in parallel have been studied. Strain distribution is studied for external vibrations with different frequencies. The geometry of the piezoelectric layer as well as the substrate has been optimized for maximum power output. The variation of generated power output with frequency and load has also been presented. Finally, several models are introduced and compared with traditional array MEMS energy harvester.
