A Wearable Solar Energy Harvesting Based Jacket With Maximum Power Point Tracking for Vital Health Monitoring Systems

Wearable sensors and electronic devices have gained a lot of attention during the last few years. The advances in low power wearable gadgets research venue field energy harvesting to exclude or supplement battery’s power. Solar is suitable source gadgets. This work presents novel solar based jacket that can in-situ vital health monitoring system (VHMS). developed VHMS comprised measure several data transferred through various Modules every 3 min with an emergency alert option. To integrate Energy harvester (SEH) VHMS, maximum point tracking designed, fabricated tested compensate battery diffused light as recorded be 7.95 × 10 -5 mW at optimal load kΩ. Ten flexible cells (each 146 mm 167.5 size) placed each inside transparent pouch stitched jacket. An individual series configuration all in-lab outside real environment under different illuminance irradiance. At resistance 1.5 kΩ, self-powered, smart capable generate voltage 45 V 1282.57 mW, lights’ 41000 lux irradiance 780 W/m xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2 . proposed SEH has been validated prototype system. Its performance compares favorably against brands on size, power, modes communicate sensors.
