본 논문은 압전소자 발전기를 이용하여 하베스팅 에너지 발전량을 증대시키기 위한 에너지 하베스팅 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 풀브리지 정류기만을 이용한 standard DC 방법에 압전소자와 병렬로 공진을 위한 인덕터와 MOSFET를 연결하여 parallel SSHI 회로를 구성하였으며, 또한 변위센서와 비교기를 통해 스위치 시점을 결정한다. 시뮬레이션 분석을 위해 압전발전기를 등가회로로 모델링하였으며, standard DC방법과 parallel SSHI 방법의 성능을 비교하여 parallel SSHI 방법이 standard DC 방법보다 약 13%의 전력이 증대된 것을 확인 하였다.

In this paper, the energy harvester with a piezoelectric materials is modeled as the electric equivalent circuit, and performances of a standard DC method and a Parallel-SSHI method are verified through experiment under variable force and load conditions. Piezoelectric generator consists of mass, damper and spring constant, and it is modeled by electrical equivalent circuit with RLC components. Standard DC and Parallel-SSHI are used as power conversion methods, and standard DC consists of full-bridge rectifier and smoothing capacitor. Parallel-SSHI method is composed of L-C resonant circuit, zero-crossing detector and full-bridge rectifier. In case of simulation under $100k{\Omega}$ load condition, the harvested power is $500{\mu}W$ in Standard DC and $670{\mu}W$ in Parallel-SSHI, respectively. In experiment, the harvested power under $100k{\Omega}$ load condition is $420{\mu}W$ in standard DC and $602{\mu}W$ in Parallel-SSHI. Harvested power of Parallel-SSHI is improved by approximately 40% more than that of standard DC method.

In this paper, the power of the energy harvesting circuit using the PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) piezoelectric sensor transformed by vortex was analyzed. For power analysis, a general bridge diode rectifier circuit and a P-SSHI (Parallel Synchronized Switch Harvesting on Inductor) rectifier circuit with a switching circuit were used. The P-SSHI circuit is a circuit that incorporates a parallel synchronous switch circuit at the input of a general rectifier circuit to improve energy conversion efficiency. In this paper, the output power of general rectifier circuit and P-SSHI rectifier circuit is analyzed and verified through theory and experiment. It was confirmed that the efficiency was increased by 69 % through the experiment using the wind. In addition, a circuit for storing the harvested energy in the supercapacitor was implemented to confirm its applicability as a secondary battery.

The target of this paper is to study on the usefulness of the SSHI technique as a wireless electrical power supply when it is driven by mechanical vibrations of low frequency. A THUNDER series a piezoelectric material (TH7-R), which has been developed by a NASA engineer is selected for this study. A mechanical motion vibrator supplies piezoelectric material with mechanical energy. An optical fiber sensor and a pulse generating circuit are used to accomplish the parallel-SSHI technique. As a result of this study, energy harvesting using SSHI technique results in a significant increase of the electrical power flow.
