Comparative performance of voltage multipliers for MEMS vibration-based energy harvesters
Truong, Binh Duc; Le, Phu Cuong; Halvorsen, Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper investigates by numerical simulation the performance of an electrostatic vibration energy harvester when it is electrically configured in two different diode-capacitor multiplier topologies. The complete ... -
Electrode optimization of an electret-based vibration generator in slot-effect configuration
Le, Phu Cuong; Halvorsen, Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper offers insights into optimization of electret-based energy harvesters made of two patterned electrodes facing movable electret strips parallelized with a pitch p. The effective electrode dimension of such harvester ... -
On the lateral instability analysis of MEMS comb-drive electrostatic transducers
Truong, Binh Duc; Le, Phu Cuong; Halvorsen, Einar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This paper investigates the lateral pull-in effect of an in-plane overlap-varying transducer. The instability is induced by the translational and rotational displacements. Based on the principle of virtual work, the ... -
Power-electronic-interface topology for MEMS energy harvesting with multiple transducers
Truong, Binh Duc; Le, Phu Cuong; Halvorsen, Einar; Roundy, Shad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Based on circuit simulations, this paper investigates a concept for a power electronic interface circuit for MEMS electrostatic energy harvesters. Two ordinary overlap-varying transducers are first electrically configured ...
