Energy Harvesting and Storage Systems for Future AF Vehicles
Abstract
This MURI project is aimed at designing a set of new energy-harvesting and storage materials (EHSM) and their integration of load-bearing airborne structures. The EHSM that were covered are, (i) organic solar cells based on two designs ,(a) dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and (b) solid state semi-conductor polymer based solar cells(SSSPS), (ii) thermoelectric materials and modules, (iii) piezoelectrics and (iv) electromagnetic generator. This MURI team is composed of several universities, University of Washington (UW), University of Colorado(CU), UCLA, Virginia Tech (YT) and University of lllinois (UI) at UC. UW team covers energy-harvesting and storage materials, and their integration to structures and supportive electric system, CU covers mainly the hierarchical modeling of EHSM,VT covers the multi-mode energy-harvesting system, UCLA covers mainly the integration of EHSS into load-bearing structures. Finally UI covers the micro-characterization of integrated EHSM into structures.
