Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system, in particular to a magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system capable of tracking a maximum power point. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), the deep integration of various sensing technologies, wireless communication technologies, and AI technologies has promoted collaborative perception and intelligent control among wireless sensor network nodes, and has broad application prospects in smart cities, smart homes, industrial IoT, smart wearable devices, and other fields. Currently, wireless sensor network nodes are mainly powered by rechargeable chemical batteries. When the number of devices is large and the locations are remote, the cost and difficulty of charging and maintenance are high. Therefore, research on self-powered technology to power low-power microelectronic devices such as wireless sensor network nodes is a key link in promoting their intelligent development. Magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting technology has the advantages of no need for external power supply, high output power, and high reliability, and has received widespread attention in recent years.
[0003] To achieve maximum power transmission, impedance matching is usually performed between the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester and the magnetoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit. However, the existing magnetoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit only achieves impedance matching at the resonant frequency point. However, the actual environmental vibration frequency varies. Once it deviates from the resonant frequency, the energy harvesting efficiency of the magnetoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit will drop significantly. In addition, the existing magnetoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit requires the electromechanical parameters of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester to be obtained in advance. However, the structural characteristics and parameters of each magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester vary, resulting in the magnetoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit being unable to use a unified program to adapt to them, which limits the scope of use of the magnetoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit. In order to solve the impedance matching problem of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester at the non-resonant frequency and the matching problem between different magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesters and the magnetoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit, and to improve the energy harvesting efficiency, researchers proposed an adaptive maximum power point tracking scheme based on the perturbation observation method.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application number CN202311019592.7 discloses a maximum power tracking method and application for energy harvesters. This method determines the perturbation direction based on the phase and amplitude relationship between the load voltage and the open-circuit voltage in the interface circuit. When applied to a magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system, this method can maintain a conjugate match between the load impedance and the equivalent internal impedance of the magnetoelectric energy harvester, accurately tracking the maximum power of the magnetoelectric energy harvester in a non-resonant state, and the overall circuit structure of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system is relatively simple. However, this method requires the simultaneous perturbation of both phase and amplitude parameters, and the objective function gradient calculation is complex, requiring reliance on a high-performance microcontroller. This increases energy loss and reduces the energy conversion efficiency of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system.
[0005] For example, Xiao et al. published a magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system in their paper “Xiao H, Peng H, et al. Automatic impedance matching with dual timescale P&O in fully self-poweredelectromagnetic vibration energy harvesting[J]. IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2024, 39(3): 3377-3390.” in 2024. This magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system determines the internal impedance of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester based on the perturbation observation method by using the diameter and central angle of the perturbation circle, thereby achieving maximum power point tracking. This magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system can achieve fast and accurate maximum power point tracking in a non-resonant state, and has high energy conversion efficiency. However, it requires simultaneous perturbation observation of the two parameters, diameter and central angle. However, the circuit structure for mapping these two parameters is relatively complex, resulting in a relatively complex overall circuit structure. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system with high energy conversion efficiency, simple overall circuit structure, and the ability to quickly and accurately track the maximum power point by perturbing a single parameter.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a magnetoelectric vibration energy harvesting system capable of tracking the maximum power point, including a magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester, an electric energy conversion circuit, a control circuit and a cold start circuit, wherein the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester is used to convert vibration energy into AC voltage.

V CCIncrease to reach the internal working voltage of the control circuit, the specific method in which the control circuit controls the electric energy conversion circuit to perform maximum power point tracking is: the control circuit first calculates the internal impedance model of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester according to the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester, and then adjusts the input internal resistance of the electric energy conversion circuit according to the internal impedance model of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester to achieve impedance model matching, and uses the perturbation observation method to perturb the boost rectifier voltage inside the electric energy conversion circuit to adjust the electric energy conversion circuit to output the maximum power, thereby achieving maximum power point tracking.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the advantage of calculating the internal impedance modulus of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester based on the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester through a control circuit. This allows for rapid determination of the internal impedance modulus of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester, dynamic adjustment of the input internal resistance within the power conversion circuit, impedance modulus matching, and preliminary maximum power point tracking. To reduce errors introduced by the estimated values and sampling accuracy used in the calculation, a perturbation-and-observation method is utilized to further fine-tune and optimize the maximum power output of the power conversion circuit, more accurately tracking the maximum power point and achieving high-speed and accurate maximum power point tracking. Furthermore, in the non-resonant state of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester, the control circuit can autonomously measure the internal impedance modulus of the magnetoelectric vibration energy harvester and adaptively perform impedance modulus matching. Consequently, the present invention utilizes the control circuit to perform maximum power point tracking, which is sequentially performed in the short-circuit, open-circuit, and energy harvesting phases. The power conversion circuit achieves maximum power transmission. Perturbing a single parameter (i.e., the boost rectifier voltage within the power conversion circuit) enables rapid and accurate maximum power point tracking, resulting in high energy conversion efficiency and a simple overall circuit structure.
