novel methodology power output piezoelectric generators

Mahmoud Al Ahmad, et al., "Modeling of MEMS piezoelectric energy harvesters using electromagnetic and power system theories." Smart materials and structures 20, (8), 2011, 085001. This work proposes a novel methodology for estimating the power output of piezoelectric generators. An analytical model that estimates for the first time the loss ratio and output power of piezoelectric generators based on the direct mechanical-to-electrical analogy, electromagnetic theory, and power system theory is developed. The mechanical-to-electrical analogy and power system theory allow the derivation of an
