  6. Mission Statement • Develop and test a system that will use piezoelectric materials to convert mechanical vibrational energy into electrical energy to trickle charge on-board power systems.

  7. Mission Requirements

  8. Mission Overview • Demonstrate feasibility of power generation via piezoelectric effect under Terrier-Orion flight conditions • Determine optimal piezoelectric material for energy conversion in this application • Classify relationships between orientation of piezoelectric actuators and output voltage • Data will benefit future RockSAT and CubeSAT missions as a potential source of power • Data will be used for feasibility study

  9. Theory and Concepts • Piezoelectric Material • substance with linear electromechanical interaction between mechanical and electrical states in crystalline materials • Piezoelectric Effect • electrical potential (voltage) developed within a piezoelectric material in response to an applied pressure or stress.

  10. Theory and Concepts continued • Where D is electric displacement, ε is permittivity,and E is electric field strength • Where S is mechanical strain, s is compliance,and T is mechanical stress • Superscript e denotes a zero/constant electric field;Superscript t denotes a zero/constant stress field;d indicates piezoelectric constants

  11. Theory and Concepts continued • Array of piezoelectric actuators • Bonded to cantilevered aluminum strips with mass attached to free end • Dynamic deflection under vibration andg-loading will create voltage potential • Various orientations will account for vibrations in multiple directions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler-Bernoulli_beam_equation

  12. Theory and Concepts continued • Place mass at end of beam to achieve maximum deflection under vibration • Model with point load Top: Bending Moment, M(x) Middle: Shear Force, Q(x) Bottom: Deflection, δ(x) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler-Bernoulli_beam_equation

  13. Theory and Concepts continued • Uniform, distributed load when subjected to g-forces during launch • Model with load acting along length of beam Top: Bending Moment, M(x) Middle: Shear Force, Q(x) Bottom: Deflection, δ(x) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler-Bernoulli_beam_equation

  14. Theory and Concepts continued • Electric potential (voltage) developed throughout piezoelectric actuators in AC form • AC voltage conditioned using a full-bridge rectifier • Accumulated in a capacitor • Monitored using a voltmeter • Recorded using data acquisition system (DAQ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_bridge

  15. Literature Review • Piezoelectric Generator Harvesting Bike Vibrations Energy to Supply Portable Devices • E. Minazara, D. Vasic, and F. Costa • Piezoelectric generator that • harvests mechanical vibration • energy and produces electricity • Determined optimal band to harvest energy 12.5Hz • Modeled piezoelectric beam as spring mass damper system • Produced ~3.5mW electricity • capable of powering LED

  16. Literature Review continued • Recent Progress in Piezoelectric Conversion and Energy Harvesting Using Nonlinear Electronic Interfaces and Issues in Small Scale Implementation • D. Guyomar and M. Lallart • Design of an efficient microgenerator must consider: • Maximization of input energy • Maximization of electromechanical energy • Optimization of energy transfer • Increase conversion abilities by: • Increase voltage • Reduce time shift between speed and voltage • Increase coupling term

  17. Literature Review continued • A Review of Power Harvesting Using Piezoelectric Materials • S. R. Anton and H. A. Sodano • PZT widely used • Extremely brittle • Piezoceramics prone to fatigue crack growth when subjected to high-frequency cyclic loading • PVDF exhibits considerable flexibility • Flexible materials more beneficial • Practical coupling modes • -31: Force applied perpendicular to poling direction • -33: Force applied in same direction as poling

  18. Literature Review continued • A Review of Power Harvesting Using Piezoelectric Materials • S. R. Anton and H. A. Sodano • High power output situations • Stack configurations most durable in high-force environments • When driving frequency is at resonant frequency of the system

  19. Literature Review continued • Comparison of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Devices for Recharging Batteries • H. A. Sodano and D. J. Inman • Researchers tested energy-harvesting qualities of three different piezoelectric materials • Lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) • Quick Pack bimorph actuator material (QP) • Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) • Measured vibration of compressor, using piezo samples as accelerometers – output in volts • Full-bridge rectifiers used to condition signal from oscillating AC into DC to charge batteries

  20. Literature Review continued • Comparison of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Devices for Recharging Batteries • H. A. Sodano and D. J. Inman • Efficiencies varied by material • QP most effective for resonant frequencies (~8 to 9%) • PZT most effective for random vibrations (~4 to 4.5%) • MFC significantly less effective than PZT and QP • Low-current, high-voltage output lacks the strength to charge batteries and is easily dissipated by diodes in circuit • QP charged batteries fastest under resonant frequencies; PZT charged the best with random vibration.

  21. Literature Review continued • Piezoelectric Sea Power Generator • R. M. Dickson • Operating principle • Attempted to harness mechanical energy of waves as changes in pressure acting upon piezoelectric mats • Minimally intrusive to ecosystem • Important implications for this project • Studies show that static pressure alone does not induce a charge in piezoelectric materials • Piezo arrays must be continuously deformed to create an electric potential that can be harvested

  22. Concept of Operations • G-switch will trip upon launch, activating all onboard power systems • Batteries power Arduino microprocessor and data storage unit • Data collection begins • Vibration and g-loads onpiezo arrays create electric potential registered on voltmeter • Current conditioned to DC through full-bridge rectifier and run to voltmeter • Voltmeter output recorded to internal memory • Data gathered throughout duration of flight

  23. Concept of Operations • Data acquisition and storage will enable researchers to monitor input from multiple sources • XY-plane vibrational energy • Z-axis vibrational energy • Researchers will determine if amount of power generated is sufficient for the power demands of other satellites • Include visual verification of functionality • Use energy from piezo arrays to power small LED • Onboard digital camera will verify LED illumination

  24. Expected Results • Piezoelectric beam array will harness enough vibrational energy to generate and store voltage sufficient to power satellite systems • Success dependent on following factors: • Permittivity of piezoelectric material • Mechanical stress, which is related to the amplitude of vibrations • Frequency of vibrations
