Circuit design and simulation for autonomous adaption of energy harvesting power management ICs

在这项可行性研究中，我们将设计电路和系统模拟，使OptiJoule（一种更智能的能量收集电源管理IC设备）能够自主适应连接到它的任何类型的采集器，从而最大限度地捕获能量。该项目将研究新的方法来定位所有类型的收割机的最大功率点（MPP）和跟踪它（MPPT）。典型的MPPT算法需要事先了解收割机；OptiJoule将自动实现这一目标，而无需事先了解收割机类型。

In this feasibility study, we will design circuits and system simulations that enable OptiJoule, a smarter energy harvesting power management IC device, to **adapt autonomously** to any type of harvester connected to it, maximising energy capture. The project will study novel methodologies to locate the maximum power point (MPP) and track it (MPPT) for all harvester types. Typical MPPT algorithms require prior knowledge of the harvester; OptiJoule will achieve this autonomously with no prior information on the harvester type.
