A Study on Renewable Energy Harvesting and Circuit Design Based on a Maximum Power Point

In the recent studies of the renewable energy harvesting, it has been one of the most important research topics how to efficiently find a maximum power point. A maximum power point means that its power becomes the maximum by a relational expression between voltage and current. This paper suggests a new method on how to efficiently find a maximum power point for obtaining renewable energy, and testifies the validity of the method through an optimized circuit design for harvesting renewable energy.
