Keywords: Nowadays, in the case of the coastal structures, wave breaking and access to clean energy are two important
Energy harvesting issues, which can be addressed by combining breakwater and vibration-based energy harvesting systems. In this
Breaking waves study, the mechanical energy which is produced when ocean wave breaks into a vertical face is converted into
Piezoelectric
electrical energy. To accomplish this, a new low-volume piezoelectric beam-column energy harvesting system is
Modal updating
proposed. To study the application of this system, a theoretical model is presented and studied analytically. The
Experimental study
analytical model is updated using experimental data and it is shown that the analytical results were similar to the
experimental results after updating. After validating the electromechanical model, an energy harvesting system
is presented, which can produce energy from breaking ocean waves on a vertical face. Four possible conceptual
designs for energy harvesting systems are considered and the so-called Perfection Rate (PR) is introduced to
select the best model to maximize harvested energy whilst mitigating the deteriorating effects of large strain
deformation.
