  • Integrated rectifier-generator system for AC-to-DC conversion
    Patent number: 11183946
    Abstract: This disclosure relates AC-to-DC rectification and power flow control of electrical power generators. An integrated rectifier-generator AC-DC conversion circuit and system are disclosed for providing a regulated DC output. The integrated rectifier-generator AC-DC conversion circuit and system may include serially stacked passive and active rectifiers connected to multiple AC ports of an electrical power generator driven by mechanical energy captured by an energy harvester. The integrated rectifier-generator AC-DC conversion circuit and system may be configured to perform active ripple control and a maximum power tracking from the energy harvester by controlling a fraction of an overall power that flow through the active rectifier.
    Type: Grant
