Modeling and Optimization for Capacitive Converter of Energy Harvester

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new converter with spherical cap for energy harvesting is proposed. Based on the method of separated variables within the toridal coordinate system, a corresponding analytical model for spherical cap converter is further established so as to obtain the analytic expressions of the topology capacitance and the output voltage. The concept of energy increment factor is specifically defined to denote the improvement of energy storage efficiency.
