This paper investigates the use of a MEMS energy harvester with adjustable resonance frequency to improve the performance of MEMS harvesters in the presence of manufacturing uncertainties. Model parameters which are subject to considerable variability have been selected and standard Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is used for uncertainty propagation. It is shown that the manufacturing uncertainty can have significant influence on the performance of the MEMS harvester. This paper proposes the use of an electrostatic device to adjust the resonance frequencies of the system to compensate for the model parameters variability. By applying DC voltages to the electrodes, the samples at which the resonance frequencies are greater than the nominal valu...
