PSCAD/PSPICE and Piezoelectric PZT

PSCAD/PSPICE and Piezoelectric PZT

The investigation of the actual open-circuit
output voltage at no load operation
together with measuring the output
parameters (resistance and capacitance) of
the PZT by RLC meter were applied and
the data were used to complete the
modelling by PSCAD/PSPICE.

It would be useful not only for the energy management circuit
analysis but also in the design system.
The output voltage waveforms was used to
discussed with the general output
characteristic of the piezoelectric PZT from
the simplified mechanical model [23].

DC motor employed with Piezoelectric

This chapter presents the electromechanical
technique for the
piezoelectric PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate).
The electromechanical characteristic of the
studied PZT would be analyzed based on
experiments while the investigation of the
energy generation was shown in Figure 6.1
which used a DC motor which employed as
the mechanical force source. It used to
control the action which would make contacts to one of the piezoelectric PZT arm
at the frequency 1 Hz. The output voltage
waveform, VP, generated from the PZT is
observed, investigated and measured the
value at each touching step.

Damping Factors: Piezoelectric in Prosthetics

Damping Factors

The voltage source was used as the
proposed model. The main internal
parameters are as following:

- the output resistance RP
- the output capacitance CP

They are measured by a RCL meter (Fluke
PM6306).
The duration of the voltage response from
Figure 6.2 can be modelled as a secondorder
parallel RLC circuit. The resonance
equation can be express as a function of
complex frequency (S1 and S2), which was
used to determine the values of R, L and C.

Prosthetic Leg with
harvesting equipments

The period of standing phase the direction
of the reaction force exerted by the ground
coincides with the direction of the relative
motion of the ankle joint.

Foot

It uses to contact to the ground and
provides shock absorption and stability.

Knee

There needs a complex connector allowing
flexion during swing-phase.
