Abstract
Energy harvesting is a concept introduced in 1954 by Bell Labs in the US while conducting research on solar cells that convert sunlight into energy. Such energy harvesting technology is a technology that collects wasted or unused energy in daily life and recycles it as electric power. In particular In the case of a photovoltaic power generation system, energy harvesting can be applied by storing electricity generated by using a battery to reduce power consumption generated by the inverter in the form of loss of power generation in cloudy weather compared to sunny days. Therefore, in this paper, energy harvesting technology is applied in the low sunlight section such as sunrise, sunset, and cloudy weather to improve the amount of power generation by recovering the power that is below the minimum operating voltage of the inverter and dissipated. Accordingly, the research contents were verified through the development of systems and algorithms according to the amount of solar power generation and the development of systems and algorithms using low power generated in sunset, sunrise, and other environments.
