Autonomous Energy System; Scalable, Flexible, Light and Low Cost

Nowadays the most rewarding aspect of engineering is to create solutions to the needs

of society in a natural and resource efficient manner, therefore we must come up with more

innovative and resource efficient solutions. One such solution can be a novel scalable

autonomous energy system, which integrates Organic (polymer) based photovoltaics (OPVs),

high density Polymer Energy Storage (PES) devices, and their Integrated Circuit (IC) interface

all as a System-in-Package unit. OPV and PES cells are thin, light, and flexible technologies

that have the potential to be used for such energy system at low cost. The IC interface manages

charging of PES cells from the harvesting energy provided by OPV cells and regulates such

power for the target applications. For the scalability of the system, the configuration of the cells

(both OPV and PES) will be optimized using statistical analysis based on experimental results

and characterization of the cells. This project will build on innovations made by our research………………………..TBC
