Abstract

The present research work proposes a photovoltaic energy harvester and an appropriate direct current (DC)/DC converter for a harvesting system after the study of the devices and taking the operation conditions. Parameters such as power, efficiency and voltage are taken into account under different environment conditions of illumination and temperature in order to obtain the best possible response. For this reason, suitable metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), diode, coil, frequency, duty-cycle and load are selected and analyzed for a DC/DC converter with boost architecture.
Keywords: energy harvesting; photovoltaic harvester; DC/DC converter; environmental conditions; simulation energy harvesting; photovoltaic harvester; DC/DC converter; environmental conditions; simulation
