Sensitivity Analysis of the Flexible Spiral Magnetic Field Energy Harvester

The magnetic field energy harvesting has become a more suitable method for powering the monitoring sensors due to its simple energy harvesting structure, high power density, and stable energy source. However, existing magnetic field energy harvester have limitations such as restricted installation size, single application scenario, and difficulty in installation or disassembly. Motivated by the above problems, this paper proposes a flexible spiral magnetic field energy harvesting (SMFH) method, which is verified by the establishment of energy harvesting models, theoretical derivation, and simulation analysis. On this basis, a comprehensive performance analysis is performed on the number of windings, load characteristics, flexibility, weight, and non-ideal resonant state. Also, the sensitivity of the flexible SMFEH to various parameter changes is deeply analyzed. Finally, the experiments have verified the feasibility of the flexible SMFEH.
