Abstract
This paper describes a triple-input energy harvesting circuit using solar, vibration and thermoelectric energy with MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) control. The designed circuit employs MPPT control to harvest maximum power available from a solar cell, PZT vibration element and thermoelectric generator. The harvested energies are simultaneously combined and stored in a storage capacitor, and then managed and transferred into a sensor node by PMU(Power Management Unit). MPPT controls are implemented using the linear relation between the open-circuit voltage of an energy transducer and its MPP(Maximum Power Point) voltage. The proposed circuit is designed in a CMOS 0.18um technology and its functionality has been verified through extensive simulations. The designed chip occupies
본 논문에서는 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어기능을 갖는 빛, 진동 그리고 열 에너지를 이용한 삼중입력 에너지 하베스팅 회로를 설계하였다. 설계된 회로는 MPPT 제어를 통해 솔라셀과 압전소자 그리고 열전소자로부터 최대 가용 전력을 수확하고, 수확된 에너지를 저장 커패시터에 병합하여 저장한다. 병합된 에너지는 PMU(Power Management Unit)를 통해 센서노드로 공급된다. MPPT 제어는 변환소자의 개방회로전압과 MPP(Maximum Power Point) 전압간의 비례관계를 이용하여 구현하였다. 제안된 회로는
