Smart Plantation using SMFC

Abstract

We generate electric power from coal and fossil fuels or nuclear plants through hydroelectric plants. Each method has its downside – be it water shortage, fouling the environment with pollution dust and greenhouse gases, or safety issues with radioactive damage. Can we at all have a pollution-free and nature-friendly power plant? Biology appears to suggest a way method that generates electricity from living plants and the microbes that live beneath them in the soil, where the plants drop their roots. The objective of the project is to use some of this organic material coming out of the plants into the ground, metabolize them, and, in the process, generate carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions and electrons. Renewable energy is needed as a source of electrical energy. One interesting topic for renewable energy is Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) because it doesn’t produce carbon emission and does not need energy input, instead, a small amount of electrical power is generated. We have performed the simulations and the results and different topologies are further discussed in detail. We are replacing the conventional battery system with SMFC because it doesn’t produce carbon emissions and a small amount of electrical power is generated. This small amount of power-delivering cells is connected in series to get a larger output voltage and also increase the voltage by using a boost converter.
