Abstract
A new converter to transfer energy from a low-voltage AC current source to a battery is proposed. It is focused to find operational modes of the converter. The low-voltage AC current source is an equivalent of the piezoelectric generator, which converts the mechanical energy to the electric energy. The converter consists of a full-bridge MOSFET rectifier and a MOSFET boost converter in order to make the converter small and efficient. The operational principle and modes of the converter are investigated with the consideration of effects of the parasitic capacitances of MOSFETs and diode. The results are proved with simulation studies using PSIM and Pspice.
