Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of a vibration energy harvesting device, which can act as a supplement for the vehicle power system. The device uses the permanent-magnet linear generator for energy harvesting purpose. The power converter of the system consists of bridge rectifiers and a buck-boost converter. A switching fuzzy proportional-integral controller is designed for regulating the output voltage of the buck-boost converter. MATLAB simulations are performed to validate the designed scheme. Experimental results using TMS320F2812 digital signal processor are also reported.
