미생물 연료 전지와 전력 조절 시스템을 이용한 생체 유기 물질로부터의 전력 생산 = Energy Harvesting from Bio-Organic Substance Using Microbial Fuel Cell and Power Conditioning System

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study presents a bio-chemical energy harvesting system which can generate electric power from bioorganic substance contained in vermicompost. It produced electricity by inoculating microbial fuel cell(MFC) with earthworm-composted food waste. The generated electricity was converted into usable voltage level for mobile electronics through power conditioning circuits. The implemented prototype showed $200{\mu}W$ of maximum output electric power, which successfully supplied a beacon device which continuously transmitted data to nearby smartphone without a battery. The proposed system can help develop portable or bio-mimetic energy supply for sustainable use with further improvement.
