Abstract

A triboelectric power generator system uses a power converter to provide a controllable impedance between a triboelectric power generator and a load, in dependence on the triboelectric generator output. This enables improved power transfer even though the output generated by a triboelectric power generator can be irregular and fluctuates over time.
