This paper introduces a new electrical strategy for maximizing the energy scavenged from highly coupled and lowly damped piezoelectric energy harvesters. The proposed strategy named Short-Circuit Synchronous Electric Charge Extraction (SC-SECE) introduces a shortcircuit phase whose start time " and duration can be adjusted. The control of " and allows to electrically adapt the dynamics of the electromechanical harvester. In a first part, we analytically derive the influences of " and on the harvester dynamics, and prove that they both affect the damping induced by the electrical interface on the mechanical resonator and its resonant frequency. Thereafter, we numerically evaluate the SC-SECE performances as a function of the intrinsic harvester's characteristics. We expose that if the coupling and/or mechanical quality factor of the harvester are important enough, the SC-SECE leads to enhanced power frequency responses compared to SECE and SEH strategies. Experimental results on a high coupling piezoelectric energy harvester associated with the SC-SECE strategy have been realized and are in good agreement with the analytical predictions. Under various vibrations amplitudes, the harvester's resonant frequency has been tuned on a frequency range as large as 35% of its natural resonant frequency. We have been able to harvest more than 92 for vibration frequencies ranging from 90Hz to 140Hz, under an external acceleration of 0.2 .
