Abstract

As the demand for low-power electronics and IoT devices grows, ambient energy harvesting appears to be a promising alternative for powering such systems in the long run. However, optimizing power and efficiency concurrently in such systems is challenging, involving balancing a number of variables. This paper investigates the optimization of power and efficiency in ambient energy harvesting systems focusing on nonlinear oscillator electromechanical harvesters subjected to multiplicative time-correlated ambient noise. Through extensive numerical simulations, we reveal distinct relationships between power and efficiency, influenced by various parameters. We observe autonomous stochastic resonance phenomena, elucidating a linear power-efficiency trend for small noise correlation time under fixed noise variance but limiting simultaneous power and efficiency optimization beyond a threshold. Under fixed noise strength, there is a trade-off between power and efficiency. Additionally, damping strength, piezoelectric parameters, and capacitor charging time impact power and efficiency linearly. These insights enhance understanding of power efficiency dynamics in ambient energy harvesting, thereby offering practical recommendations for parameter selection to maximize both power output and efficiency in the next generation of electronics.
