Simulation of the Soft Magnetic Yoke for Micro Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvester Based on MEMS Technology

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we focus on the efficiency of energy converting of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvester. We add a soft magnetic yoke structure so that the induced voltage is increased by 81% and the efficiency by 65%. The simulation results in Ansoft Maxwell verify our design.
