Energy harvesting techniques require more reliable power electronics. Conventional AC/DC converters in energy harvesting systems are normally self-powered by their load-sided energy storage elements. This feature makes the storage elements easily drained and the whole system may no longer be able to function. An input-powered AC/DC converter is proposed to eliminate the need for pre-charging the load and allows for infinitely long intervals from the energy harvester.
Note: Drinks and snacks will be served for Fall lMG seminars.
