An electronic interface for the maximization of the power extraction from train suspension energy harvesters is presented in this article. It is made up of a passive rectifier and a dc-dc converter equipped with a digital control unit that implements a novel maximum power point tracking technique. It can settle the voltage at the rectifier output to its optimal value, despite the time-varying trai...Show More
This paper presents the design and optimization of tubular linear electromagnetic transducers (LETs) for the applications of large-scale vibration energy harvesting from vehicle suspensions, tall buildings, or long-span bridges. The LETs are composed of magnet and coil assemblies, which convert the vibration energy into electricity when moving relatively with each other. The parameters of the LETs...Show More
