ENERGY HARVESTING FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC MATERIALS
Energy harvesting has gained significant attention as a promising solution for powering low-power electronic devices without relying on batteries. This work focuses on the design of electromagnetic microgenerators and power processing circuits for low-voltage energy harvesting applications.
The study presents novel converter topologies, efficient auxiliary circuits, and optimized control techniques to improve harvested energy output. Various converter designs are analyzed in terms of operation, modeling, and power losses, along with suitable interfacing methods between microgenerators and converters.
Low-power auxiliary circuits such as start-up circuits, controllers, and gate drivers are also developed to achieve self-sustained operation. In addition, control strategies for voltage regulation and maximum energy extraction are implemented to enhance overall system efficiency. The proposed system demonstrates the feasibility of electromagnetic energy harvesting for self-powered electronic applications.
