Abstract
This paper presents design of energy harvesting from exercise bicycle. The topology is based on lead-acid battery charge controller using dc-dc converter. The CUK converter is selected to deliver the energy and to regulate the charging voltage. The methodology of charging is adapted from the recommendation of IEA, which is the modified constant voltage charging with equalizing mode. The experimental exercise bicycle is constructed to verify the validity of the proposed design.
