Triboelectric nanogenerator with mechanical switch and clamp circuit for low ripple output
Nano Research(2021)
摘要
For new renewable clean energy, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have shown great potential in response to the world energy crisis. Nevertheless, the alternating-current signal generated by a TENG needs to be converted into a direct-current signal to be effective in applications. Therefore, a power management circuit, comprising a clamp rectifier circuit and a mechanical switch, is proposed for the conversion and produces a signal having a low ripple coefficient. The power management circuit adopts a clamp circuit as the rectifier circuit to increase the rectified voltage, and reduces the loss resulted from the components by reducing the use of discrete components; the electronic switch in the buck regulator circuit is replaced with a mechanical switch to reduce cost and complexity. In a series of experiments, this power management circuit displayed a stable output voltage with a ripple voltage of 0.07 V, crest factor of 1.01, and ripple coefficient of 2.2%. The TENG provides a feasible method to generate stable electric energy and to supply power to low-consumption electronic devices.
