  • Energy harvesting system with indirect power transmission and power distribution method
    Patent number: 10224738
    Abstract: A power distribution method is applied to control an energy harvesting system that includes an ambient energy source, an energy storage, a power converting circuit and a control unit. With the power distribution method, the excess power generated by the ambient energy source is transmitted to charge the energy storage through an indirect power flowing path, or the load side is powered by the energy storage through another indirect power flowing path. Therefore, the number of inductor switches of the power converting circuit can be reduced to mitigate switching loss and ensure higher power conversion efficiency.
    Type: Grant
