Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical energy generation from a large number of microbial fuel cells operating at maximum power point electrical load
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the electrical performances of MFCs under maximum power point (MPP) load conditions and proposed an algorithm that regulates MFC voltage to one-third of its open-circuit voltage.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Self-powered ultra-low power DC-DC converter for RF energy harvesting
Salah-Eddine Adami,Vlad Marian,Nicolas Degrenne,Christian Vollaire,Bruno Allard,Francois Costa +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an autonomous low voltage and ultra-low power DC-DC converter is presented, which harvests RF energy from a low power rectenna (rectifying antenna).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Self-starting DC:DC boost converter for low-power and low-voltage microbial electric generators
Nicolas Degrenne,François Buret,Florent Morel,Salah-Eddine Adami,Denis Labrousse,Bruno Allard,Abderrahime Zaoui +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and evaluate an original boost converter able to harvest energy from low-power and low-voltage power sources, based on the stringent characteristics of microbial electric generators such as microbial fuel cells and microbial desalination cells.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Autonomous ultra-low power DC/DC converter for Microbial Fuel Cells
TL;DR: An ultra-low voltage and power DC/DC converter that harvests energy from a Microbial Fuel Cell in order to feed another circuit such as an autonomous wireless sensor without the need for external power source of start-up assistance is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Application of the PCB-Embedding Technology in Power Electronics – State of the Art and Proposed Development
Cyril Buttay,Christian Martin,Florent Morel,Remy Caillaud,Johan Le Lesle,Roberto Mrad,Nicolas Degrenne,Stefan Mollov +7 more
TL;DR: The embedding of components in Printed Circuit Board material is an attractive solution to improve the performance of power converters in the 1 W–100 kW range by increasing the power density, reducing circuit parasitics, and improving manufacturability.
