  • Abstract:
  • Solar panels enable the acquisition of energy from the environment that can be stored for Energy Harvesting purposes. The objective of this work is to design, simulate and characterize different configurations in the harvesting stage, constituted by solar panels for energy harvesting systems of low consumption, identifying the most adequate arrangement to achieve the highest amount of energy together with the conversion stage. The methodology used has has been design, simulation in Matlab-Simulink software and characterization with mini solar panels. The system developed consists of 3 stages which are: energy harvesting, DC-DC converter, and storage, focusing on the Energy Harvesting stage. From the simulation obtained is 4.8V and 160 mA; from measurement 4.60V and 134.5mA, resulting that the mixed configuration is the one that provides better results both in the voltage and in the current, so the results conclude that very close the simulated and measured values with an error of 0.05% and 0.16% on voltage and current respectively with an output voltage of the converter up to 26V. Finally, very promising results for Energy Harvesting applications.
