A piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) circuit with a passive rectifier lack in efficiency and performance. The performance and potential of piezoelectric energy-harvesting devices depend strongly on the power conditioning circuit as the circuits are essential for managing and controlling energy flows in these energy collecting devices. In order to overcome this situation, the parallel synchronized switch harvesting on inductor (P-SSHI) and the general model of synchronized multiple bias-flip (SMBF) which are the recent implementation of parallel synchronized triple bias-flip (P-S3BF) and parallel synchronized septuple bias-flip (P-S7BF) are used for further enhancing the PEH performance. In addition, active rectifiers presented distinguished benefits over passive rectifiers, such as the ability to analyze regulation, dynamic response to load changes, output voltage ripple, input current, total harmonic distortion (THD), power factor correction, and wave factor. Furthermore, by using an active rectifier the output voltage can be boosted higher. Thus, it is more efficient than a lower voltage since it experiences less energy loss from resistance. This research investigates the several high efficiency AC-DC active rectifiers as interface circuit plays a crucial role in the energy harvesting capability enhancement in PEH systems. The research methodology is carried out on a piezoelectric structure under the same base circuit with a different type of power conditioning circuit applied to the main circuit using the LTspice software. In conclusion, the input voltage for each different active rectifier circuit were set at 3-5 V and the frequency is set based on the input voltage of the circuit. Based on the results, the P-S7BF shows the higher efficiency with voltage output will have the most efficiency with the estimated voltage output reaching up to 13 V with a net harvesting power of up to 80-90% follow up by the P-S3BF and P-SSHI. There are several recommendations to improve active circuit by investigation the impact of load variation on the efficiency, such as different loads may require different rectification techniques and control strategies to achieve high efficiency.

The appearance of low order odd harmonic in the AC power line can be mitigated by projecting a proper switching angle during the conversion of the inverter. The switching angles can be obtained by solving the numerical nonlinear equation using numerous solving techniques and algorithms. Several studies shows the value of harmonic significantly increase whenever the amplitude modulation decrease for the SPWM switching scheme of the inverter. However, this topic has not yet covered in the single-phase SHEPWM inverter. This paper is to study the effect of the amplitude modulation index towards the harmonic distortion in the SHEPWM switching technique. To solve the numerical equations, MATLAB code is used to produce the specific switching angles to drive the inverter by solving the numerical equations. The validation of results thru hardware implementation using EZDSPTMS320F28335 to produce the digital signal for controlling the inverter. The targeted low order harmonic to be eliminated are the 3rd, 5th and 7th and three four amplitude modulation indices will be compared and observed in term of total harmonic distortion. The THD results for amplitude modulations 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 are 17.50%, 15.10%, 13.30% and 10.63%.

Times have certainly changed over the past few decades, now it seems that technology is getting more compact and efficient. The modern outdoor enthusiast such as hikers, climbers has a problem regarding the lack of power supply to power up electronics when they go for adventure activities. In order to solve this problem, this paper design and develop DC/DC buck converter system to drop down the voltage from the solar photovoltaic (PV) system from 12VDC into 5VDC. This paper is first to start up with design and simulation circuit using simulation to test outcome of this paper in the range of 5VDC & 1.0A and 5VDC & 0.5A. A battery storage is needed to feed electricity independent and battery management of the battery is needed to improve the performance of battery life. This can be done by adding a charge controller unit. The outcome of this paper allows the battery to be charged using the solar panel and at the same time can produce multiple outputs for low voltages used. The software simulation has been done to shows this system produces two different output and the hardware will be developed based on the software results. Software and hardware result, both will be compared and analysed.

The goal of the project is to achieve an output voltage at range 1 V until 13 V. In recent years, the use of small- scale green energy technologies has grown exponentially. This further highlights the need for innovation in this area, especially for small-scale applications. Global warming results from carbon dioxide gas accumulation in the atmosphere and the depletion of the ozone layer and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. To get the clean energy sources are not only an alternative to a finite supply of fossil fuels but also a way of helping to mitigate the harm that have been caused. Researchers around the world are looking into cheaper, renewable, and more reliable sources of energy which is wind turbine to produce kinetic energy and transformed into electrical energy. Usually the size of wind turbine was larger and heavy. Therefore, this research aims to design the Savonius vertical windmill with a charging system that displays the desired output. This research used SolidWorks software to design the blade and generator part and using Arduino software to control the charger circuit. The outcomes investigation result from Savonius vertical windmill affordable to produce output voltage of 2.33 V.

The objective of this study is to explore the harvest maximum output changes occurs in piezoelectric transducer when connected in different configuration to produce highest electricity consumption and generate sound energy harvesting system. Acoustic energy is a type of environmental energy source that can be extracted and converted into electrical energy for small-scale energy applications. In this study, the corresponding load resistance for single piezoelectric transducer is 4.5 k$\Omega$, together with a constant vibration source at a frequency of 68 Hz and a 1-g acceleration. The performance of output voltage and power of piezoelectric are evaluated and the optimum output is measured by depending on the connection of the piezoelectric transducer arrangement into series, parallel and series, and parallel which stimulated using Proteus software. The experiment result presented that, when have single piezo, 5 piezo connected in series, and 5 piezo connected in parallel, the output powers are 1.664 mW, 1.671mW and 7.676 mW, respectively. During the combination series and parallel connections, the output power of 3S1P piezo increases to 5.05mW. In a parallel configuration, the output voltage that produced is much higher than a piezoelectric transducer arrangement connected in series connection. The piezoelectric transducer that connected in parallel configurations increases its voltage output from 2.83 V to 13.05 V with the same polarity. The arrangement of piezoelectric transducer in parallel configuration is affordable, with its higher production of a higher power output compared to the arrangement of piezoelectric transducer in series connection. Whereas in terms of power output, the maximum power remains constant in the range of 1.665 to 1.671 mW when three transducers are in series configuration connection with the same polarity. In conclusion, the proper implementation of the piezoelectric array configuration is needed in order to operate the minimum energy for low load devices and promise to accomplish generated optimum power output in harvester system.
