The Electricity Performance of Flexible Piezoelectric Generator

Abstract:

A FPEG (flexible piezoelectric generator) composed of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) piezoelectric film, conducting resin and titanium alloy substrate, which occupies less room and produces electrical energy while the axial wind flows through the oscillator surface. When the axial wind flows through the generator surface, generator begins to vibrate and produce electrical energy, as the wind speed reaches a critical value, generator yields resonance phenomenon. In this paper, more work was placed on how the substrate structure parameters such as length, width and thickness affected the power generation capacity in resonance mode.
