Electrostatic Energy Harvesting Circuit with DC- DC Convertor for Vibration Power Generation System

چکیده
This paper presents an interface circuit with power control features for electrostatic vibration energy harvesting. A DC-DC convertor is used to control the output voltage of a diode-based charge pump circuit. Therefore, the maximum and minimum voltage across the variable capacitor of the energy harvester may be adjusted to track the maximum power point of the system. The power conversion function of the DC-DC convertor depends on the switches configuration. An example of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for different conversion function is presented in this paper. Simulation results show that at least 10 μW is generated.
