“…Globally growing need of energy can be fulfilled by grid tied SPV power plant [1]. It can be easily generated and used in household, commercial and industrial applications [2]. The major disadvantage of commercially available SPV module is its low conversion efficiency (η < 20%) and the non-linearity of the output I-V curve [3,4].…”

Outdoor performance characterisation of the Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) module is essential to while designing and commissioning a new SPV power plant. The health of SPV plant is monitored using a conventional method which underutilises the workforce and resources used for Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of the SPV power plant. Outdoor performance characterisation of SPV module using reliable, compact, portable, and economical Current-Voltage (I-V) curve tracer having IoT capability and auto sweep capability is presented in this paper. The capacitive load method is used for I-V curve sweep, and the result is compared with the resistive load method. In this paper, the advantages of using a capacitive load method over resistive load method are observed and experimentally validated. The ease of using IoT feature makes this proposed I-V Curve Tracer (IVCT) device more reliable to trace Current-Voltage (I-V) curve and Power-Voltage (P-V) curve for outdoor performance characterisation of SPV module.

“…Solar energy is, in principle, pretty easy to use, it is captured directly from the sun and stored. For example, IMRP was designed to run on fuel cells using a low-pressure metal hydride hydrogen storage system which stores more energy on board than a rechargeable battery could, and a suitable method of storing solar energy used hydrogen as a medium for storage, using metal hydride in [1].…”

Energy is the essential requirement of today's life. Due to the diminution of the energy sources, we need to develop the device which can harvest the wasted energy existing in our ambient environment. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was developed as an innovative paradigm for energy harvesting, which can harvest various forms of mechanical energy that exist in our day to day life, including vibrations, walking, ocean waves, human motions, raindrops, flowing water, a moving automobile, wind, rotation energy and mechanical triggering. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a novel energy harvesting device to convert mechanical energy into electricity based on triboelectric principle. This paper reports triboelectricnanogenerator for efficiently harvesting electrical energy from the rotational motion of the robot's wheel, also paper works on designing robot's circuit does not need any external reference battery using a piezoelectric startup circuit. However, as the availability of harvest energy source is intermittent, there is a need to devise a backup power system so as to be able to store the electricity produced by nanogenerator and thereby have a readily available source of energy at all times. This paper analyzes and presents a concise review of renewable & harvesting energy technology, especially in robotics, and learn more about how to incorporate the right mobile robot power source, and seeks to demonstrate that renewable energy storage solution can be attached and stored.Copy Right, IJAR, 2018,.

Introduction:-The robotic technology already plays a vital role in modern life, and its influence is set to grow exponentially over the coming decades in order to modernize global production procedures and remote environmental sensing techniques. The lack of compact, efficient, and lightweight power sources impedes the realization of mobile robotic devices that operate autonomously for periods of hours, while the technology for mobile robotic platforms, communication, information processing, and automation has accelerated, similar breakthroughs for power sources have not kept pace. With the estimated population of mobile robots and the resulting demand for massive energy consumption, make the power source powering a mobile robot is a critical decision, affecting the mobile robotic process and output. Generally, batteries have been the source of energy for most mobile, embedded and remote system applications. But in the modern, Renewable and harvest energy can provide the solution as a viable alternative energy source to meet the special energy demands that are typically required to operate embedded Corresponding Author:-Amira.
