Abstract

This paper presents sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) and a Dc-Dc boost converter. In which, an SMFC generates a maximum voltage of 1.16V, which is not sufficient to drive the low power electronic device. Therefore, a self-sustainable Dc-Dc boost converter is designed to boost up the SMFC voltage from 1.161V to 3.289V. This is simulated in the LTspice software by using an LTC3108 integrated circuit (IC). The performance of this proposed boost converter is analyzed at different load resistance. During the analysis, we found that output voltage and current of the boost converter are almost constant when the load resistance made equal to the internal resistance of the SMFC. The energy harvester Dc-Dc boost converter can deliver upto 3.289V, which is sufficient to power sensor devices, remote water sensing and other remote broadcasts etc. The proposed Dc-Dc boost converter is self-sustainable because it is powered entirely from harvested energy without requiring extra external power sources.
