Abstract
This paper presents a complete equivalent circuit model for a wireless power transfer concept utilizing a center-clamped piezoelectric cantilever beam with magnetic tip masses as a receiver. The analytical solution for the power delivered to a load resistance is given as a function of material properties, beam characteristics and external magnetic field strength. The lumped element model is experimentally verified. The efficiency of the system is thoroughly investigated and validated. The essential effect of the coil resistance is highlighted. The analyses show that optimization of transmitter coil size and geometry of the piezoelectric transducer has a significant impact on the transduction factor between the magnetic-mechanical-electrical domains, which greatly improves the transmission efficiency. Finally, the model for evaluating the efficiency is generalized for other similar structures.
