| Title | Design of indoor energy harvesting system for Internet of Things applications |
| Summary | The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the large scale deployment of Internet connected sensors which can operate autonomously without maintenance such as battery replacement. Although there are many sensor devices that are available for IoT applications, the supply of energy to these devices for measurement and transmission of measured data is a major challenge. In this project, the student needs to design an energy harvesting system based on a white light emitting diode (LED) and a thin film solar cell suitable for indoor light harvesting. A power supply circuit comprising the solar cell, DC-DC regulator and a back up lithium ion battery storage will have to be built. The power supply circuit is used to drive a microcontroller or single board computer interfaced to a sensor such as a thermistor or light sensor. The system to be demonstrated should be compact and should operate with white LED light as the energy source only. It should transmit signals at regular time intervals without the need to change the lithium ion battery. |
