The application of trapezoidal shaped piezoelectric (PZT) cantilever is one way of increasing the harvested power of energy harvesters. Finite element software was used to simulate a tuneable trapezoidal and a rectangular PZT bimorph cantilevers with similar specifications. From the new simulation approach, an open circuit voltage obtained for different resonance frequencies for both generators. The simulation results are compared with the experimental and found to be in good agreement. The results have showed an increase in power over 19�% for the trapezoidal generator over the rectangular generator for a frequency range of 38�122�Hz. The trapezoidal harvester produced maximum power of 0.272�mW at resonance frequency of 34�Hz and acceleration of 2.5�m/s2. � 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
