The variable geometry inductors for the energy harvesting applications

Abstract

© 2016 IEEE. The energy harvesting applications becomes omnipresent, utilizing different harvesting techniques to collect energy from ambient. Recently, the electromagnetic field energy harvesting attracted attention, with objective to provide nearly unlimited power supply, particularly for variety of the low-power electronic devices. Furthermore, the inductive assemblies have been recognized as reliable, low cost and adaptive collectors for such kind of energy. Therefore, in this preliminary research paper, the inductive sensors with variable geometry have been analyzed, regarding increase of their overall inductance, with a basic idea to try in that way to collect and store more energy from surrounding electro magnetic field. The approach of partial inductance modeling has been used for the performance analyses of those inductors.
