Abstract
This Master thesis deals with the analysis, simulation and step-by-step design, implementation and experimental testing processes of a tapped inductor power electronics converter, associated with the energy harvesting process of a Dielectic ElectroActive Polymer (DEAP) generator. In order to enhance the operational voltage range of the converter, while sustaining a high degree of energy efficiency, the ‘gate balancing core’ technique has been employed to serialize a number of switches. Numerous experiments on the serialization of switches as well on the converter operation are conducted in the laboratoy of AAU and in this thesis they are presented and discussed.
