Micro solar wireless power generation device

What is wireless power transfer using solar energy?

This chapter has presented brief outline of the state-of-the-art and developments in wireless power transfer using solar energy. The harvesting technologies of ambient solar radiation like solar photovoltaic, kinetic, thermal or electro-magnetic (EM) energy can be used to recharge the batteries and power various electronic gadgets.

Are miniature microbial solar cells a viable power source?

In particular, miniature microbial solar cells (MSCs)can be the most feasible power source for small and low-power sensor nodes in unattended working environments because they continuously scavenge power from microbial photosynthesis by using the most abundant resources on Earth; solar energy and water.

Is solar energy a good energy source for wearable devices?

Solar energy is also a kind of green renewable clean energy that is an ideal power source for wearable electronic devices 25, 26. Furthermore, hybrid energy harvesters that integrate capabilities of harvesting various forms of energy further improve the efficiency of energy harvesting and broaden the application scenarios 27, 28.

Which Papers highlight solar energy based wireless energy transfer?

Only few relevant papers which highlight solar energy based wireless power transfer are briefly discussed here. Zambari et al., investigated the development of wireless energy transfer module for solar energy harvesting [ 11 ]. They studied the module of wireless energy transfer (WET) for interaction with the ambient solar energy.

What is the state-of-the-art of wireless power transfer using solar energy?

The State-of-the-Art of Wireless Power Transfer using Solar Energy is also described along with the literature review. The later part of the chapter contains novel concept of transmitter design of a parallel plate photovoltaic amplifier device integrated in a Building.

What types of energy sources are available for portable and wearable devices?

The energy sources available for portable and wearable electronic devices, such as mechanical energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, and solar energy, are extensive. According to the characteristics of these forms of energy, energy harvesting systems suitable for collecting various forms of energy have gained substantial attention.
