1. Introduction
In the IoT(Internet of Things) society, vast many types of sensors are embedded into the wireless communication module in order to collect various ambient data for energy managements like the BEMS and HEMS. These systems need a lot of self-powered sensor nodes with energy harvester instead of wired power source or primary batteries.
The organic solar cells have high photovoltaic performance in the indoor low light condition. So, this study demonstrates the energy saving verification using by wireless sensor nodes with organic solar cell under the various indoor condition.
2. Experimental
Organic solar cells are fabricated in our laboratories. Figure 1.(a) shows the organic solar cell panel of single cell type. The electron-donor material (TR-SCP197) of organic photovoltaic layer is also synthesized in our laboratories. The environmental sensor nodes (temperature, humidity, and brightness) are assembled by NISSHA Co., Ltd. And the occupancy sensor nodes are assembled by OPTEX Co., Ltd. The conventional amorphous silicon solar cells (a-Si) are also prepared and tested at same time in order to compare the photovoltaic performance and driving performance of wireless sensor nodes under the low light condition. The wireless sensor nodes are installed in an office and a conference room. For example, the brightness and occupancy data are wirelessly transmitted to the gateway in order to maintain the optimal brightness of room lightings by specific area and turn off the room lighting automatically if no one is there. Figure 1.(b) shows the energy management system using wireless sensor nodes in this system
3. Result
The photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells are 1.3 times electric power generation compared to a-Si under the 50 to 200 Lux LEDs. Though a 1-year verification test, the environmental sensor nodes and occupancy sensor nodes work with the very dim light condition at 40 and 70 Lux each. And the electrical power consumption of room lightings are saved about 40% after installing this system.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
