Analytical Study of Piezoelectric Harvesters With SECE and SSHI Under Variable Excitation

A theoretical analysis aimed at predicting the power extracted from resonant piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters feeding synchronous switching-type electronic interfaces under variable mechanical excitation is proposed. In particular, for the widely used synchronous electric charge extraction (SECE) and synchronized switching harvesting on an inductor (SSHI) switching interfaces, the nonline...
