Abstract

The Intelligent Control of Vibration Energy Harvesting system is presented in this paper. The harvesting systems use a me- chanical vibration to generate electrical energy in a suitable form for use. Proportional-Integrated-derivative controller and Fuzzy Logic controller have been suggested; their parameters are optimized using a new heuristic algorithm, the Camel Trav- eling Algorithm(CTA). The proposed circuit Simulink model was constructed in Matlab facilities, and the model was tested under various operating conditions. The results of the simulation using the CTA was compared with two other methods.
