Vibrational piezoelectric energy harvesters (vPEH) are of great interest in several fields such as autonomous sensors and wireless sensor networks, bird tracking devices, or autonomous miniaturized robotic systems. They capture energy from mechanical vibrations available in the ambient environment and convert it into electrical one to power those systems. Basically, a vPEH is composed of three mai...
