Abstract

Empirical acceleration measurements are collected at 4 body locations from 20 subjects during normal daily activities. The measured acceleration is converted to the harvestable power assuming a velocity-damped resonant generator. Based on the calculated harvestable power, a simple Markovian model with two power levels and three states is developed.

Keywords: energy harvesting markov model
