Engineering Concept of Energy Storage Systems Based on New Type of Silicon Photovoltaic Module and Lithium Ion Batteries

This paper mainly aimed to construct a solar charger with power pack on camouflage fabric (280 × 305 × 3 mm) for military and civil use in mining and reconnaissance set. The solar charger includes a photovoltaic panel, supercapacitor module (composed of 8 supercapacitors XV series), converter (B10-1224-05) and connectors (SP1312/S2 and SP1312/S4). The constructed solar charger was tested in laboratory and field conditions. In the first stage of our work, we tailored the solar charger based on the receiver the BATTERY Start 400 power bank requirements, portability and modular construction. We performed field trials performance studies in the second stage to confirm the laboratory results. The obtained results of the charger efficiency were satisfactory during unfavourable weather conditions (temporary rainfall, total cloud cover), and we obtained η ≈ 0.9 with periodic cloud cover. The energy delivered during one day of charging t = 9 h was E PB ≈ 38 Wh. This was confirmed by laboratory tests where approximately 80 Ah was stored during 18 h of charging the BATTERY Start 400 energy storage. It was confirmed that the 50 F capacitance of the supercapacitor module allowed the charging of BATTERY start 400 power bank – receiver for up to 22 min when fully charged. Finally, it was shown that the charging and discharging experiments of the proposed system demonstrate the stability against highly volatile weather conditions.

This review presents the current state of the knowledge regarding the use of radioactive sources to generate photonic light in scintillators as converters of ionizing radiation to electricity in photovoltaic cells. The possibility of using the phenomenon of the excitation of light photons in the scintillation materials during the interaction with particles and photons of ionizing radiation was analyzed in detail. The light photons obtained in such a way can generate an electric charge in photovoltaic cells. The whole process can be named as a nuclear cell (nuclear battery). Theoretically, the use of such physical phenomena seems to be an ideal practical solution to meet the energy needs of the modern world. However, there are many physical and technical problems that limit its widespread use in practical applications. In an ideal system, the ionizing radiation sources can emit the radiation for billions of years, and the energy of particles and photons from the radiation can be converted into photons in the scintillation material, with energy suitable to generate a photoelectric effect in a photovoltaic cell. Such a cascade sequence of different physical phenomena allows, from a theoretical point of view, for the creation of a virtually inexhaustible source of electricity. This review of historical and current literature reports aims to bring closer the idea of “energy perpetuum mobile”, which has troubled many scientists around the world for centuries.
