Popis: A stochastic model of arm swing is proposed for standard test of rotational energy harvester (EH). Based on the mean values and standard deviation of the frequency and amplitude of arm swing from walking experiment, the output power of rotational electret EH for 95 % coverage is estimated for different parameters of the frequency and amplitude. A multi-link robot is also introduced to mimic the arm swing motion precisely under various conditions. It is found that the output power for the maximum frequency and amplitude is 2.5 times higher than that for the mean values, and the present stochastic model gives 22% higher output power than that with mean values.
