from MFCs is not directly usable due to the low voltage and current output. Moreover‚ the output power can fluctuate significantly according to the operating points‚ which makes stable harvest of energy difficult. This paper presents an MFC energy harvesting scheme using two layers of DC/DC converters. The proposed energy harvester can capture the energy from multiple MFCs at the most efficient operating point and at the same time form the energy into a usable shape. Zhiyong Ren‚ Ph.D. Dept. of
