Experimentally validated model and analytical investigations on power optimization for piezoelectric-based wireless power transfer systems

摘要

This article presents a near-field low-frequency wireless power transfer system utilizing a piezoelectric transducer with magnet tip mass as a receiver. The interaction moment between the uniform B field generated by a Helmholtz coil and the magnet is the means to deliver the electrical energy from the transmitter to an electrical load, which is therefore referred to as magneto-mechano-electric effect. This is the first time a complete equivalent circuit model of such a structure is developed and experimentally verified. Based on the lumped model, various aspects of the power optimization problem are thoroughly discussed, providing a comprehensive view of the system and an important premise for further study.
