This paper deals with the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a piezoelectric energy harvesting system subjected to a harmonic external excitation disturbed by Gaussian colored noise. A parametric analysis is conducted, where the effects of the standard deviation and the correlation time of colored noise on the system response are investigated. The numerical results suggest a strong influence of noise on the system response for higher values of correlation time and standard deviation, and a low (noise level independent) influence for low values of correlation time.
