Abstract
This paper provides an analysis for the performance evaluation of a piezoelectric energy harvesting system using the synchronized switch harvesting on inductor (SSHI) electronic interface. In contrast with estimates based on a variety of approximations in the literature, an analytic expression of harvested power is derived explicitly and validated numerically for the SSHI system. It is shown that the electrical response using an ideal SSHI interface is similar to that using the standard interface in a strongly coupled electromechanical system operated at short circuit resonance. On the other hand, if the SSHI circuit is not ideal, the performance degradation is evaluated and classified according to the relative strength of coupling. It is found that the best use of the SSHI harvesting circuit is for systems in the mid-range of electromechanical coupling. The degradation in harvested power due to the non-perfect voltage inversion is not pronounced in this case, and a new finding shows that the reduction in power is much less sensitive to frequency deviations than that using the standard technique.
