The increasing use of new technologies, which have the need for smaller and more energye cient sources, such as micro-sensors for monitoring systems and structures of the so-called smart cities, assigns environmental energy harvesting a viable option to power such devices. As kinetic energy is a source easily found in the environment, the systems that harvest and convert this type of energy into electricity have been widely studied, especially those using piezoelectric transducers. Considering framed structures, such as buildings, bridges, etc., which are commonly found in the cities, this paper presents a new model of piezoelectric energy harvesting system based on a nonlinear portal frame, under a non-ideal excitation by a source with limited power. To model Piezoelectric couplings, they were considered nonlinearities of the piezoelectric material. Through numerical simulations, the e ciency and viability of the proposed model can be veri ed. A di culty arises in harvesting energy in an e cient manner, and with a continuous level, because the vibrations of the environment are sinusoidal, random or transient. However, the use of passive controls can improve the energy harvested by removing the chaotic motion of the system and maintaining the oscillation at a stable periodic orbit. Thus, two passive control strategies were employed, the rst using a substructure with characteristics of nonlinear energy sink (NES), and the second by introducing a pendulum. In both cases, the simulations showed that the passive control was e cient in bringing the chaotic system to a stable periodic orbit, optimizing the energy harvest system. An analysis considering the uncertainties in the parameters was performed to verify the robustness of the control strategy, as well as the sensitivity of the control system of parametric errors. The results showed the e ciency of passive control and the energy pumping phenomenon in the suppression of the chaotic behavior. The main advantage of passive control is not to require any electronic components for controlling the system, only a mechanical component _mass_, attached to the main structure. A Wavelet Analysis was conducted on the model to identify the oscillatory behavior of the system and allowed the viewing of the vibration frequencies that harvest more energy.
