Linear electromagnetic energy harvester system embedded on a vehicle suspension: From modeling to performance analysis

Abstract

Although linear electromagnetic energy harvester (LEH) is a promising technique for converting energy in a vehicle suspension, due to the large displacements, one of the main drawbacks of the solutions inside the vehicle is still their size and complexity. To address this issue, this paper focuses on the design and fabrication of a fully embedded LEH without any modification of the suspension initial structure. After a determination of the electrical, mechanical and electromechanical parameters using a Finite Element analysis, the dynamic efficiency is highlighted with a global Bond Graph model. This formalism is well adapted to simulate energy transfers inside multiphysic systems and to reduce the computational time, whereas the finite element model is not exploitable for a complete suspension simulation. In order to validate the Bond Graph simulation results, an embedded prototype has been built and tested in a laboratory environment. The embedded LEH system delivers around 10 W for a solicitation of linear velocity of 1 m/s which is sufficient to power a classical electronic circuit which is in good correlation with the measured ones and significant power has been obtained.
