Abstract

Energy harvesting techniques with low quiescent current (lQ), high maximum power-point tracking (MPPT) efficiency become crucial for the Internet of Things (loT) nodes. Meanwhile, the applicability to multiple energy sources is favorable, demanding a wide voltage conversion ratio VCR range. The MPPT is usually achieved by tuning the input impedance of the cascading boost DC-DC converter. The fractional open-circuit voltage (FOCV) [1] is the one of simplest MPPT methods, but the MPPT efficiency is good only when we obtain the precise fraction constant. Hill-climbing (HC, as shown in Fig. 1) [2], [3] is another widely used MPPT scheme that achieves high MPPT efficiency, and is applicable to all energy sources. However, it senses the input voltage and current VIN and llN for the input power PIN, usually in an analog way and hence demands a high lQ. Work from [4] proposed an MPPT method based on the Constant-Energy-Packet-Extraction (CEPE), as shown in Fig. 1. Eq. (1) presents the energy obtained in each switching cycle. Using the peak inductor current (lPEAK) and discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) control, and assuming (tON > > t(OFF) (when VCR is high), each packet energy ECEPE is almost constant (eq.2). [4] utilizes CEPE to achieve MPPT by finding out the switching frequency (fsw) where duty cycle varies greatly (large ΔD). This may consume a high lQ, and is only applicable to thermoelectric generators (TEG). Besides, its MPPT efficiency decreases if tON is not > > tOFF (small VCR cases). As given in Fig. 1, the calculated relative error increases when VCR decreases.
