Özet
In this study, hybrid energy harvesting based on electromagnetic induction (EM) and piezoelectric transduction (PZT) is experimentally investigated under different conditions of flow-induced vibrations. The energy harvesting performance of the system is examined when the electromagnetic and piezoelectric mechanisms are used both separately and simultaneously. In this regard, firstly, only electromagnetic induction harvesting structure is attached to a beam, and time-dependent voltage and displacement are experimentally investigated. Then, PZT has adhered to the beam, and voltage outputs are measured in both the PZT and EM circuits. The third scenario is based on removing the electromagnetic harvesting structure and only the piezoelectric energy harvesting performance is studied. The mentioned cases are investigated under different excitation circumstances, that is, distinct bluff-body geometries and flow velocities. While the square bluff-body geometry is connected to the structure, both PZT and EM harvested power are determined by considering different electrical load resistances. It is mainly revealed that the total energy amount is higher in the hybrid configuration. After determining the hybrid structure is the most effective, elements with different splitters geometry are attached to the bluff-body geometry of the harvesting structure. Finally, the vibration enhancement potential of these new types of splitters on the harvesting structure is experimentally investigated. For the solo electromagnetic harvester, the maximum power is obtained at an external load resistance value of 10 k omega, while for the solo PZT harvester, the maximum power is observed at the resistance value of 330 k omega. Among the three types of splitter geometries examined, the highest voltage was obtained from type-1 as 14.168 V.
