Abstract

The aim of this paper is studied the Elements that affect the circuit SECE for piezoelectric energy harvesting and the influences on piezoelectric energy harvesting performance. In addition, the energy harvesting system based on piezoelectric energy plays an important role in the conversion of vibration energy from the environment into electrical energy, which can be used by low-power electronic devices. Concerning the interface circuit, the SECER (Synchronized Electrical Charge Extraction Regulator) circuit is usually required to rectify the alternating current (AC) signal into a direct current (DC) signal. In this paper, the properties of the SECER circuit and the influences on the energy recovery performance are analyzed and presented by power visualization simulation in the case of low load and high source frequency, as well as in the case of high load and low frequency. and whose characteristics can significantly influence the energy harvesting. It can be seen that the harvesting energy has a close relationship with the characteristics of the SECER circuit components. This study discloses the SECE influences on piezoelectric energy harvesting performance. In addition, the results show that the nonlinear SECER technique is 20% more efficient than the standard circuit, in terms of maximum power and bandwidth, for generators characterized by a moderate electromechanical coupling coefficient.
