Abstract

This paper presents the experimental validation of the piezoelectric array in harvesting the vibration energy from human activity. This experiment is aimed to choose the best array topology of piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) for replacing the battery on our wearable devices. Based on our experiments, the no-load characteristic of PZT array shows the big hope for future implementation on wearable devices. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
