Single Electron Transistor-Based Charge Quantification System for Energy Harvesting Interfaces

Energy harvesting has emerged as a crucial field of science and engineering at the crossroads. Energy harvesting involves capturing energy from the surroundings and transforming it into usable electricity. This paper investigates the design and simulation of an efficient solar energy harvesting system based on single electron transistor (SET) charge quantification. The unique capability of SET to accurately quantify the charge generated by solar cell is used in this investigation. The MATLAB environment is used for refinement of algorithm used for precise charge estimation with in SET system. The impact of different environment parameters that includes temperature fluctuations, influence of noise and change in intensity of light is also obtained using MATLAB simulation. The robustness and accuracy of the system in charge quantification is evaluated using impact of these physical parameters. The results exhibited a robust sensitivity of the system, maintaining an average accuracy of 97.5
