Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of micro-energy collection, and particularly relates to a piezoelectric energy collection system and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, the traditional battery-powered method of wireless sensor nodes has the problems of limited storage capacity and short lifespan, and regular battery replacement will greatly increase the cost. The natural environment is full of a lot of environmental energy, such as wind energy, solar energy, thermal energy and vibration energy. And because vibration energy is a widely existing form of energy, the collection of vibration energy through piezoelectric energy transducers has universal significance and broad application prospects. [0003] figure 1 It is a structural block diagram of a typical piezoelectric energy harvesting system. The piezoelectric energy harvester converts the vibration energy generated by the piezoelectric material into alt...

Problems solved by technology

However, the shortcomings of this structure include that the voltage ripple at the end of the energy storage unit is very large, and it is directly used as the power supply of the DC-DC converter, which will inevitably affect the performance of the circuit; there is no power supply self-starting pre-charging circuit in this structure, so once the power supply When the voltage is very low or the external vibration energy is weak, the
