What is a wearable microgrid?

This Perspective discusses the vision of a wearable microgrid, based on a judicious scenario-specific selection of harvesting and storage modules, with commensurate performance, towards the rational design of practical wearable electronic systems with high energy autonomy and reliability.

What is a wearable e-textile microgrid system?

Inspired by this notion, we herein propose and demonstrate the concept of a wearable e-textile microgrid system: a multi-module, textile-base system with applications powered by complementary and synergistic energy harvesters and commensurate energy storage modules.

Are self-sustainable wearable systems similar to independent microgrids?

This perspective points out the similarity between self-sustainable wearable systems and independent microgrids, summarizes key system-level considerations in designing smart and reliable wearable microgrids with dynamic energy prediction and budgeting, and envision the future roadmap for the development of wearable electronics.

What is wearable bioenergy microgrid?

In summary, we have demonstrated the concept of wearable bioenergy microgrid via a textile-based multi-module system for sequentially harvesting biomechanical and biochemical energy via the TEG and BFC modules.

What is the integrated fingertip-wearable microgrid system?

The integrated fingertip-wearable microgrid system offers a sustainable autonomous power supply, miniaturization, self-regulation, on-demand multisensory biomarker detection, safety and comfortable wearability.

Which MCU is suitable for the wearable microgrid system?

BG, blood glucose concentration. An ultra-low-power MCU (nRF52832, 6 × 6 mm), capable of operating below 1.7 V and suitable for BLE, was selected for the wearable microgrid system. The BFC charging the AgCl-Zn batteries energy system generates a higher open-circuit voltage of 2 V, which can directly power the fPCB without needing a voltage booster.
