Abstract

In this contribution we investigate a bistable energy harvester with regard to its optimal impedance load. A bistable energy harvester exhibits three different types of oscillation: Single-well (about a stable equilibrium), cross-well (between the wells) and inter-well (about the unstable equilibrium). The occurring oscillation type depends, for instance, on the excitation parameters and the initial conditions. It has already been observed ( [1]) that the optimal impedance, which allows to maximize the power output, varies for each oscillation type. In our investigations we complement these findings with analytical and numerical calculations. For our analysis we examine the non-dimensionalized coupled equations of a bistable energy harvester.
