Response Surface Modelling of Energy Harvester

Abstract

This paper explains the application of response surface methodology on piezoelectric circular disc transducer by considering the three independent variables such as voltage constant, applied force and the total thickness of circular transducer. The dependent variables are voltage and power. For optimizing the voltage and power through energy harvester parameters such as voltage constant, total thickness of transducer plays a main role. The maximum voltage is recorded as 0.161 V through experimentation at the applied force of 3 N, 0.23 mm thickness and 26.5 V constant.
