Abstract:
A self-powered system and a method for power extraction and measurement of energy-generator units are disclosed. The system comprises an energy generator unit (10) providing an electrical current I FC and a voltage V FC ; an instrumentation block (20) to measure the electrical current 1 FC , and a power management unit (30) connected to the energy generator unit (10) via a first input that collects the electrical current I FC , extracting an electrical power provided by the energy generator unit (10). The power management unit (30) also has a second input which is connected to a feedback element (40) connected to a voltage reference V REF , to the voltage V FC and to the instrumentation block (20). A variation of an equivalent input impedance of the power management unit (30) sets a given parameter of the energy generator unit (10) to a controlled given value and the instrumentation block (20) assists in the control of the parameter.
