Ada Piez Electric

This paper proposes an energy harvesting circuit to efficiently extract electrical energy from a mechanically excited piezoelectric element. The circuit consists of a rectifier, output capacitor, battery, and switch-mode DC-DC converter. An analytical expression is derived for optimal power flow from the rectified piezoelectric device. Experimental results show that using an adaptive DC-DC converter in the circuit increases power transfer to the battery by over 400% compared to not using the converter.

This paper describes an approach to harvesting electrical energy from a mechanically excited piezoelectricelement. A vibrating piezoelectric device differs from a typical
electrical power source in that it has a capacitive rather than inductive source impedance, and may be driven by mechanical vibrations of varying amplitude. An
analytical expression for the optimal power flow from a rectified piezoelectric device is derived, and an "energyharvesting" circuit is proposed which can achieve this
optimal power flow. The harvesting circuit consists of an AC-DC rectifier with an output capacitor, an electrochemical battery, and a switch-mode DC-DC converter that
controls the energy flow into the battery. An adaptive control technique for the DC-DC converter is used to continuously implement the optimal power transfer theory
and maximize the power stored by the battery. Experimental results reveal that use of the adaptive DC-DC converter increases power transfer by over 400% as
compared to when the DC-DC converter is not used.
