Abstract

The transient phenomenon of self-powered energy-harvesting is assessed using a bond-graph method. The bond-graph is an energy-based approach to describing physical-dynamic systems. It shows power flow graphically, which helps us understand the behavior of complicated systems in simple terms. Because energy-harvesting involves conversion of power in mechanical form to the electrical one, the bond-graph is a good tool to analyze this power flow. Although the bond-graph method can be used to calculate the dynamics of combining mechanical and electrical systems simultaneously, it has not been used for harvesting analysis. We demonstrate the usability and versatility of bond-graph for not only steady analysis but also transient analysis of harvesting.
