Efficient Power

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are energy harvesting devices where the anode is buried inside marine sediment, while the cathode stays in an aerobic environment on the surface of the water. To apply this SCMFC as a power source, it is crucial to have an efficient power management system, leading to development of an effective energy harvesting technique suitable for such biological devices. In this work, we demonstrate an effective method to improve power extraction with SMFCs based on anodes alternation. We have altered the setup of a traditional SMFC to include two anodes working with the same cathode. This setup is compared with a traditional setup (control) and a setup that undergoes intermittent energy harvesting, establishing the improvement of energy collection using the anodes alternation technique. Control SMFC produced an average power density of 6.3 mW/m2 and SMFC operating intermittently produced 8.1 mW/m2. On the other hand, SMFC operating using the anodes alternation technique produced an average power density of 23.5 mW/m2. These results indicate the utility of the proposed anodes alternation method over both the control and intermittent energy harvesting techniques. The Anode Alternation can also be viewed as an advancement of the intermittent energy harvesting method.

AbstractThe article is devoted to researching the practical application of the magnetoelectric effect for the development of energy harvesting devices, in particular for the design of magnetoelectric synchronous generator. The energy harvesting devices are designed to provide by the energy of remote or nonvolatile electronic devices that don’t require the high power consumption. General dimensions of the generator were as follows: diameter of 12 cm, thickness of 2.4 cm. The model of generator comprising eight ME elements with dimensions of one element of 40×10×0.5 mm at the frequency of the alternating magnetic field of 38 Hz provides the output constant voltage of 1.12 V and current of 3.82 microamps. Variable voltage before the rectifier was of 1.7 V. Total generated power was of 4.28 µW. The studies of resonant and non-resonant mode of ME element were carried out. Resonance mode of ME element provides a much greater output power. Designed generator can be applied in the construction of wind power sets, hydrogenerators, turbogenerators and other power generation equipment.
