Time-Delayed Feedback Control in the Multiple Attractors Wind-Induced Vibration Energy Harvesting System

Abstract EN

This paper proposes a time-delayed feedback control to improve collection performance of the multiple attractors wind-induced vibration energy harvester system.

By employing a conversion mechanism for decoupling the electromechanical equations and the stochastic averaging method, the roles of the time-delayed feedback and the system parameters have been systematically examined.

In the deterministic case, the time delay can control efficiently the birhythmic properties; thus one can realize a dividing line in the parameter plane that separates the space into two subspaces of generically distinct nature.

Further, it is exclusively demonstrated that implementing time-delayed feedback control serves as a very simple but highly efficient scheme to increase the harvested energy from vibrations in presence of noise disturbances.

Additionally, the time constant ratio and coupling coefficients can also be properly tuned to optimize power generation.
