Abstract
A basic autonomous system powered by a piezoelectric harvester contains three components apart from the harvester: a fullwave rectifier, a reservoir capacitor and an electronic device performing the primary task of the system. In this contribution, a model describing the operation of such a system is derived. It is found that in steady-state operation, the piezoelectric harvester experiences two alternating load conditions due to the rectification process. These alternating load conditions can have a significant effect on the operation of the harvester and must be considered in the design of autonomous systems. The results also show that such an autonomous system works efficiently if it is connected to a high impedance load and excited by a frequency matching the anti-resonance frequency of the piezoelectric harvester.
