Abstract

In recent times, there has global trend toward increasing the use of renewable energies to slow or stop the degradation of the environment. Because the sun is the most plentiful asset, “solar energy” is seen as the most likely alternative among renewables, and it is projected to serve as the basis of a sustainable power industry because it converts sunlight into usable energy. “Perovskite solar cells (PSC)” are incorporated into the architectural envelope of "Building integrated photovoltaic systems (BIPVs)”, which has become increasingly popular as a method to minimize the amount of electricity that buildings use in recent years. An advancement in the energy conversion paradigm is required since there is a critical requirement for additional integration between Perovskite solar cell PV systems and batteries. The primary goal of the thesis is to build and design a “DC-DC converter (boost converter)”, “maximum power point tracking (MPPT)” circuit, and perovskite solar cell (PSC), all of which are components for energy harvesting the BIPVs Application (window). The “Perturbation and Observation (P&O) “method is utilized by the PSC energy harvesting system. This method uses a “Sample and Hold (S&H)” circuit, a flow chat, a decision circuit, and a Multiplier circuit. The P&O approach is founded on a comparison of the maximum power points and the open circuit voltages of perovskite photovoltaic cells. Comparator circuits, a compensator, and a PWM driver have all been designed specifically for use with battery and charging systems. Additionally, battery and charging systems assess PSC performance in natural and artificial lighting conditions. This circuit design is built with "UMC 180nm CMOS Technology" and is realized on the "CADENCE VIRTUOSO" Tools platform.
