- Abstract
Summary: The article presents a multisource energy harvesting circuit (MEHC) for vibration and light energy with maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The MEHC has a cold start capability and extracts energy from piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) and photovoltaic cells (PVs) simultaneously when the multi PZTs reach their peak open‐circuit (OC) voltage, detected by the peak voltage detector and the PV1 cell voltage exceeds the MPP voltage (MPP voltage is approximately 0.7 times the PV cell's OC voltage) during the off‐peak time of the PZTs. The experimental results indicate that the output power of the MEHC is 2.8 mW under certain conditions, and the maximum energy extraction efficiency of the PVs is about 75%. The output power of the MEHC is 4.59 times of that without PVs.
