Title
A Bidirectional High-Voltage Dual-Input Buck Converter For Triboelectric Energy-Harvesting Interface Achieving 70.72% End-To-End Efficiency
Abstract
A bidirectional high-voltage (HV) dual-input (DI) buck converter and a fully integrated maximum power point (MPP) tracker for a triboelectric (TE) energy-harvesting (ER) system are proposed. The proposed MPP tracker carries out the fractional open-circuit voltage (FOCV) method without any external resistor for voltage down conversion. The proposed buck converter regulates two high DC voltages from a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) up to 70 V with a single shared inductor. By reducing the capacitance at the switching node, the power conversion efficiency is improved, and the maximum end-to-end efficiency is 70.72%, which is 21.15% higher than prior work.
