Power Electronic Circuits for Magnetic Energy Harvesters

Abstract: Compared to many other energy harvesting schemes, harvesting energy from magnetic fields offers potential advantages for energy extraction and sensing. A magnetic energy harvester provides great flexibility for sensors and monitoring applications for condition-based monitoring of electromagnetic actuators, including vibration and thermal monitoring. A core must be managed or operated with carefully timed saturation to ensure maximum power extraction, a complex problem given the nonlinear saturation characteris… Show more

“…The magnetic permeability of the saturated magnetic core is close to zero; this can cause power performance degradation due to such factors as insufficient induced voltage and power density. There have been several attempts to enhance the power density of magnetic energy harvesters, [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] but most of these attempts have not taken into account the effect of permeability variation, which is dependent on the geometrical parameters of the magnetic core and the magnetic field intensity. Assuming that permeability has a constant value at all locations of the magnetic core, regardless of the distance from the center of the power line, aspects of power performance like induced voltage of the magnetic core will be highly inaccurate.…”

“…The detailed analysis on magnetic saturation and its importance in the scope of electromagnetic energy harvesting can be referenced at [5] and [6]. The importance of magnetic saturation in energy harvesting can be briefly explained in two ways: first, if the magnetic core is not saturated, the load voltage can be always increased until the core saturates, directly increasing the energy extraction (since it is a currentdriven transformer, the harvested current does not change until saturation); second, if the magnetic core is not saturated, the number of turns on the secondary side can be lowered until the core saturates, directly increasing the harvested current (hence energy extraction).…”

An ideal magnetic core for this type of energy harvesting requires three properties: low hysteresis loss, high saturation flux density, and extremely high magnetic permeability [6], [12]. Another important property is the physical size of the core as VAMPIRE is to be enclosed in a small terminal box of the motor.…”
