Abstract
This paper presents a nonlinear interface circuit for piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PEH) with Synchronous Asymmetric Voltage Flipping and Charge Extraction process, denoted as SAFCE. SAFCE flips the PEH voltage polarity at positive peak and completely extracting charge at negative peak through LC resonance. The harvested power is independent of load. In theory, the harvested power is 200 % of SECE and 780 % of best impedance-matched SEH due to the energy injection mechanism, which enhances the electromechanical coupling coefficient of PEH. Moreover, a self-powered SAFCE circuit without rectifier bridge is designed, which reduces power consumption and eliminates the need for external power sources. Experimental measurements are carried out to compare with SEH and SECE circuits under the condition of either constant displacement magnitude (0.5 mm) or constant external excitation acceleration (10 m/s2). The experimental results indicate that the power harvested by the SAFCE technique increased by 171 % compared with the SECE method and by 381 % compared with the best impedance-matched SEH method under the same conditions.
Zusammenfassung
In diesem Beitrag wird eine nichtlineare Schnittstellenschaltung für piezoelektrische Vibrationsenergie-Harvester (PEH) mit synchronem, asymmetrischen Spannungsumkehr- und Ladungsextraktionsverfahren (SAFCE) vorgestellt. SAFCE kehrt die Polarität der PEH-Spannung an der positiven Spitze um und extrahiert die Ladung an der negativen Spitze vollständig durch LC-Resonanz. Die gewonnene Leistung ist unabhängig von der Last. Theoretisch beträgt die gewonnene Leistung 200 % der SECE und 780 % der besten impedanzangepassten SEH aufgrund des Energieinjektionsmechanismus, der den elektromechanischen Kopplungskoeffizienten der PEH erhöht. Darüber hinaus wurde eine selbstversorgte SAFCE-Schaltung ohne Gleichrichterbrücke entwickelt, die den Stromverbrauch senkt und den Bedarf an externen Stromquellen eliminiert. Es werden experimentelle Messungen zum Vergleich mit SEH- und SECE-Schaltungen unter der Bedingung einer konstanten Verschiebungsgröße (0,5 mm) oder einer konstanten externen Anregungsbeschleunigung (10 m/s2) durchgeführt. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die mit der SAFCE-Technik gewonnene Leistung im Vergleich zur SECE-Methode um 171 % und im Vergleich zur besten impedanzangepassten SEH-Methode unter den gleichen Bedingungen um 381 % gestiegen ist.
