An Impedance Matching Solution to Increase the Harvested Power and Efficiency of Nonlinear Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters
Circuit theory and nonlinear dynamics are instrumental to design efficient energy harvesters for ambient mechanical vibrations. In this work, we show that an impedance matching networks can be designed that maximizes the harvested power, and improves the power efficiency. The proposed matching netwo...
