Abstract

Anthocyanin is a type of natural pigment that gives color to plants and can be used to absorb visible light with wavelength of 400-600 nm. The absorption ability is very useful for dye in designing dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The anthocyanin can be extracted from blueberry and has unique characteristic of high stability when it reaches low pH. In this paper, design of DSSC with dye made of blueberry anthocyanin and its performance related to pH variation is presented. The performance was evaluated experimentally according to output voltage and current generated by 4 fabricated samples (pH of 1.5, 2, 2.6, 4.4) from A.M 1.5 sunlight and 10-watt LED. Experiment results show that for both light sources, dye with pH of 1.5 has the highest output voltage and current among the others. Since the output voltage and current are very small, the exsisting design of DSSC is suitable to be developed for optical sensor.

Abstract

In this paper, a Marx generator voltage multiplier as an impulse generator made of multi-stage resistors and capacitors to generate a high voltage is proposed. In order to generate a high voltage pulse, a number of capacitors are connected in parallel to charge up during on time and then in series to generate higher voltage during off period. In this research, a 6kV Marx generator voltage multiplier is designed using gas discharge tube (GDT) as an electronic switch to breakdown voltage. The Marx generator circuit is designed to charge the storage capacitor for high impulse voltage and current generator applications. According to IEC 61000-4-5 class 4 standards, the storage capacitor must be charged up to 4 kV. The results show that the proposed Marx generator can produce voltages up to 6.8 kV. However, the storage capacitor could be charged up to 1 kV, instead of 4 kV in the standard. That is because the output impulse voltage has narrow time period.
