Simulation of a Self-Excited Power Generation System for Dielectric Elastomer Generation

Abstract:

In recent years, global warming is a serious international problem. We focused on dielectric elastomer power generation to solve the problem. The dielectric elastomer generation has characteristics such as compactness and flexibility. The dielectric elastomer generation can harvest electric energy from renewable energy sources such as sea wave, wind, and human motion. However, the dielectric elastomer generation has a weakness dependent on an external power supply. In this paper, we proposed a self-excited dielectric elastomer generation circuit using piezoelectric elements. As a circuit verification method, circuit simulations are performed using MATLAB / Simulink, and the circuit behavior is confirmed from the results. From results, it is considered that dielectric elastomer generation can be performed without using the external power supply.
