Maximizing Electric Power Recovery through Advanced Compensation with MPPT Algorithms by Souad Touairi, Mustapha Zekraoui, Mustapha Mabrouki

“…Simulations reveal that, at a velocity of 50 km/h, shock absorbers utilizing the received signal strength indication (RSSI) can harvest between 60 and 90 W on a class C road, based on the time of arrival (TOA). Striking a balance in ride comfort using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) as a trade-off constitutes approximately 30% of the piezoelectric harvester (PEH) system’s power consumption when operating in active suspension mode, optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO).…”
