Implementation and Validation of a Two-Stage Energy Extraction Circuit for a Self Sustained Asset-Tracking System

We present a two-stage energy extraction circuit for a piezoelectric energy harvester, powering an asset-tracking system. Exploiting accelerations generated by many logistic transport devices, e.g., pushcarts, forklifts, assembly belts or cars, we are able to harvest sufficient electrical energy to...
