- 29In the case of pseudo-piezoelectric DC energy harvesting, the nonlinear interface can be either added in parallel or in series with the active material.24 However, only the parallel case will be presented here for the sake of simplicity. All the other developed interface for piezoelectric energy-harvesting systems may also be used,30–32 but will not be presented here, as their application is straightforward.
