Correlation Assessment Between Power Generation by Indoor Photovoltaic Energy Harvesting and Storage Characteristics

Toshihiko Ishiyama

Abstract


This paper describes indoor photovoltaic (PV) energy harvesting and the correlation assessment of power generation and storage devices for “Internet of Things (IoT)” devices. To evaluate the parameter optimization of the solar cell and capacitor, the relationship between the output of the indoor PV cell and the capacitor charging time was evaluated. The capacitor charging time was studied by changing the capacity used to store the power produced by the cell. Indoor PV cells can generate sufficient power by obtaining sunlight from windows as well as artificial lighting. Therefore, IoT devices can be operated even at night by supplying power from the energy storage circuit. These results show that there is a correlation between the time required for IoT devices to operate and charge, depending on the brightness of the room. Based on the experimental results, a relationship between charging time and capacitance was formulated using a logarithmic function.
