“…In the reported harvesters, the generated alternating current (AC) voltages are typically processed using a classical extraction circuit composed by a rectifier and a direct current (DC)-DC converter with matching impedance strategies [22,23]. Moreover, since the voltage level produced by a classical electromagnetic generator is usually low, it has to be specially optimized when designing the transducer in order to be useful for powering electronic devices [12,22].…”

Harvesting magnetic energy from the environment is becoming increasingly attractive for being a renewable and inexhaustible power source, ubiquitous and accessible in remote locations. In particular, magnetic harvesting with polymer-based magnetoelectric (ME) materials meet the industry demands of being flexible, showing large area potential, lightweight and biocompatibility. In order to get the best energy harvesting process, the extraction circuit needs to be optimized in order to be useful for powering devices. This paper discusses the design and performance of five interface circuits, a full-wave bridge rectifier, two Cockcroft–Walton voltage multipliers (with 1 and 2 stages) and two Dickson voltage multipliers (with 2 and 3 stages), for the energy harvesting from a Fe61.6Co16.4Si10.8B11.2 (Metglas)/polyvinylidene fluoride/Metglas ME composite. Maximum power and power density values of 12 μW and 0.9 mW cm−3 were obtained, respectively, with the Dickson voltage multiplier with two stages, for a load resistance of 180 kΩ, at 7 Oe DC magnetic field and a 54.5 kHz resonance frequency. Such performance is useful for microdevice applications in hard-to-reach locations and for traditional devices such as electric windows, door locking, and tire pressure monitoring.

“…Typical methods were based on nonlinear techniques for extracting as high power as possible typically in piezoelectric [3,4] and electromagnetic [5,6] energy harvesting and resistive/impedance matching for maximum power transfer from the energy harvesters to the loads in all types of energy harvesting such as solar [7], thermoelectric [8], piezoelectric [9], and electromagnetic energy harvesting [10]. In the nonlinear techniques, switches are toggled at appropriate timing to momentarily form an LC oscillator circuit using the energy harvesters and external components such as inductor [3,4] or capacitor [5,6]. The oscillation occurred increases the voltage waveforms from the energy harvesters, and hence the power is increased.…”

Energy-Aware Approaches for Energy Harvesting Powered Wireless Sensor Nodes

Abstract-Intensive research on energy harvesting powered wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) has been driven by the needs of reducing the power consumption by the WSNs and the increasing the power generated by energy harvesters. The mismatch between the energy generated by the harvesters and the energy demanded by the WSNs is always a bottleneck as the ambient environmental energy is limited and time-varying. This paper introduces a combined energy-aware interface (EAI) with an energy-aware program to deal with the mismatch through managing the energy flow from the energy storage capacitor to the WSNs. These two energy-aware approaches were implemented in a custom developed vibration energy harvesting powered WSN. The experimental results show that, with the 3.2 mW power generated by a piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) under an emulated aircraft wing strain loading of 600 με at 10 Hz, the combined energy-aware approaches enable the WSN to have a significantly reduced sleep current from 28.3 µA of a commercial WSN to 0.95 µA and enable the WSN operations for a long active time of about 1.15 s in every 7.79 s to sample and transmit a large number of data (388 bytes), rather than a few ten milliseconds and a few bytes, as demanded by vibration measurement. When the approach was not used, the same amount of energy harvested was not able to power the WSN to start, not mentioning to enabling the WSN operation, which highlighted the importance and the value of the energy-aware approaches in enabling energy harvesting powered WSN operation successfully.Index Terms-energy harvesting, energy-aware interface, energy-aware program, wireless sensor nodes

“…Also, DC power of 44 mW can be produced when the RMS primary current increases to 51.5 A. The efficiency of the full-wave rectifier is about 50% based on the measured powers in Further efficiency improvement is possible by replacing the diodes with field-effect transistors [141], [145], [146].…”
