 ABSTRACT

Power banks are one of the need to have product these days. But even power banks need
charging. For that one needs to get the power bank charged in a power plug. This is not
always possible when travelling so here we design a smart solar powered folding
power bank.

The solar power bank integrates solar charging with efficient battery support and wireless
charging to provide a multi functional unique power bank product. The device is able to
self charge anywhere during day time so that he user never runs out of power.
This Wireless charging solar power bank provides the following advantages:

• Easy Wireless Charging for compatible phones

• Solar Self Charging
• Foldable Design for Portability
• 20000maH battery backup
• Added USB Type Charging port availability

The smart solar power bank integrates lithium battery pack with solar panels battery
protection and wireless charging coils using dc power boosters and charge controllers
to provide for a feature packed power bank.
This solar panels are used with charge controllers to charge the battery pack using
charging
circuitry. The powerbank makes use of LED for indication of current battery capacity. AN
Adapter can also be used to directly charge the powerbank using AC power if needed.
The battery pack power is used to power the induction coil that is mounted on the top of
the power bank. When mobile phone is placed over the top of the power bank an
electromagnetic induction effect induces electric current in the coil mounted in the
phone back. This is used to charge the phone wirelessly.

Wireless charging is a type of charging method which uses an electromagnetic field to

transfer energy through electromagnetic induction. Energy is transferred between devices
(transmitter and receiver) through the process of mutual induction. Power from solar is
given as input to
transmitter inductive coil, the receiver inductive coil receives the power and converts it
into electric current to charge the Battery

 1. INTRODUCTION

Wireless charging is an emerging technology now a days. Wireless charging is also

known as wireless power transfer; here the power is transferred to load without
interconnecting cords. In 2015 Samsung introduced wireless charging into galaxy s6
mobiles. Wireless charging is also called as inductive charging. Wireless charging
mainly eliminates the cable required for charging. It reduces the wear and tear of the
hardware ports.
Compared to wire charging, wireless charging has more benefits as follows.
•It is user friendly, as there are no cables. Different mobiles can use the same
charging pad.
• Provides flexibility, where connecting cables for charging are costly.
• It does not have any radiation effects
Wireless charging technology is gradually advancing towards two major
directions, i.e., radiative wireless charging or radio frequency (RF) based wireless
charging and inductive charging or coupling-based wireless charging. Radiative
wireless charging adopts electromagnetic waves, generally microwaves and RF
waves is used to deliver energy in a form of radiation. The energy is transferred
based on the electric field of an electromagnetic wave, which is radiative. Further
due to the safety issues raised by RF exposure, radio frequency based wireless
charging operates in a low power region. Inductive charging is based on mutual
induction concept where magnetic field couples between two coils. Also the
magnetic field of An electromagnetic wave attenuates much faster than the electric
field hence the power transfer distance is largely limited. Due to safety and
implementation the inductive charging is used in our day today life.
The major liability or drawbacks of communication lines comes because of the
distortion of electrical lines or lack of generation of electricity as like in remote areas
or during disaster or natural calamities. It works on the power of the sun, converting
solar to electrical and helps in charging the cell phones which can be used in
communication, and thus, turns to be vital during disasters and power outage.
 2. SCOPE OF PROJECT

The main scope behind our design is the creation of a product that makes the
charging of mobile devices more convenient. In our current use of handheld devices,
we are tethered by a cord to charge everything. Not only is a cord in hand required,
but there is also a need to have a proper outlet nearby to supply power. Our product
is an attempt at alleviating this pressure for the cord-outlet system by having its own
internal power generation and a cordless charging system. If a product like ours
were to become widespread, charging devices would become much less of a hassle
by allowing devices to be charged in more convenient locations. On top of
convenience, we were also motivated to make our product using a renewable source
of energy, which is where solar power comes in. Using only energy collected from
the solar cells, our product can play an interesting role as an off-the-grid power
source. Aiming for a product that could function entirely from collecting and storing
solar energy, we sought to create a product that will be usable in all kinds of different
environments. This includes schools and offices, outdoor events, and could
potentially be adapted for use in developing countries where there is not a power
grid set up. Harnessing solar energy to avoid a dependency on a wall outlet is not a
brand-new idea, but we hoped to bring it down to a smaller scale in a user-friendly
way
Wireless power is a topic of increasing popularity with many businesses,
startup companies, and research groups trying to perfect the design of a device
which could benefit people around the world. Much of this technology is still in
research and/or development, as 8 refining wireless transfer methods is difficult and
time consuming. There are many challenges with wireless power due to low rates of
efficiency, as well as safety when considering higher power transfer levels and
longer range. Even so, some companies have begun sale of their own devices and
others are very close to going to market with a finished product.
 3. METHODOLOGY

1.Addressing safety concerns Since the main application of our design makes
use of ambient lighting indoors for the solar panels and inductive power transfer for
charging, safety concerns were significantly minimized. We no longer had to worry
about the health concerns associated with far field, radiative methods of power
transfer.
2.Matching Networks/Coil Matching From our background research, one very
important aspect of inductive coupling is the need for creating a matching network for
the transmitting and receiving coils in order to properly “tune” the system. The reason
for creating these matching networks can be seen by looking at the Maximum Power
Transfer Theorem The theorem states that in order to achieve the maximum power
transfer between two circuit elements, the two elements must have impedances that
are a complex conjugate pair. When the two elements are tuned correctly, they both
resonant at the same frequency, allowing for the peak power amplitude.
3.Shielded cables Because of the nature of coils (wire wound in order to
propagate an electric field), it is important to take into account interference. One easy
way to combat aspects of interference is to make use of shielded cables in
connecting the solar cells to the charge controller, charge controller to the battery,
battery to the inductive charging circuit and finally the charging circuit to the
transmission coil. The wires connecting the transmission coil and the transmitting
circuit are by far the most important for shielding because these carry a lot of voltage
and current and are very close in proximity to the coil
4.Signal Generation One of the primary components that our transmitting circuit is
based on is the 555 timer
5.Solar Charging Looking at the challenge of solar charging, the main objective
was to collect light, convert it to electrical energy, then subsequently store this energy
before it is sent to the inductive charging component of our product. During our
research on solar cells, it was important to consider the power output capabilities of
the cells, the lifespan of the cells, as well as the sturdiness of the cells. The latter
concern was particularly troubling in the initial stage as we quickly learned how brittle
solar cells can be. To solve this, research was conducted into coating techniques, in
particular, enamel and epoxy coating
 4. DETAILS OF DESIGN, WORKING AND PROCESSES

A. Solar panel Solar panels convert solar energy into electricity. They use the
concept of photoelectric effect, emission of electrons when light falls on solar
panel. Solar panels are made up of silicon cells, silicon has an atomic number 14.
When light falls on silicon cell, the outer most electrons of silicon i.e. two electrons
are set into motion. This initiates the flow of electricity. Silicon has two different
cell structures: monocrystalline and polycrystalline
B. Batteries: Lithium ion battery is rechargeable battery. During discharging lithium
ions moves from negative electrode to the positive electrode, during charging
lithium ions move from negative electrode to positive electrode
C. . Transmitter: Transmitter section basically consists of an astable multivibrator,
power resistor, and inductor as shown in Fig.2. The obtained DC voltage from
solar panel is converted into AC voltage using an astable multivibrator
D. Application There are two inductors i.e. transmitting coil and receiving coil. The
circuit mainly works on the principle of mutual induction. The transmitting coil has
the dimensions 22.1*13.1*3.2 mm and transmitter coil inductance 3.7uH.
E. Receiver Receiver section basically consists of receiving inductor coil, bridge
rectifier, voltage regulator and rechargeable battery. The AC signal received by
the coil should be converted into DC signal it is done by bridge rectifier and
voltage form the bridge rectifier is unregulated and this should be converted into
regulated constant voltage, voltage regulator IC 7805 is used to convert the
unregulated DC voltage to regulated constant DC voltage.

 5.RESULTS AND APPLICATIONS
After completing the assembly of the table, we began running a suite of testing to
ensure we met our design goals and specifications. We divided the testinginto two
big sections, the output capacity of the solar cells and the charge rate of thebattery,
and the power transferred through the coils and the final output power reaching
the device being charged.
Solar Cells Output capacity, battery charge rate
First, we began our testing with exposing the solar cells to different lighting
environments. We identified four primary light sources to test, as these would be the
most likely to be encountered with our table, Sunlight, Incandescent, Fluorescent,
and LED light. The results of this testing can be seen in Table 1 below. It is important
to note that these numbers are the observed output values under the specific light
bulbs we tested and in future testing considering small manufacturing errors and
completing tests comparing different brands would provide more insight into changes
in output power between bulb type. Simply put, in our testing, Incandescent came
out on top, followed by LEDs, then Fluorescent, but this does not mean that in other
tests with different shaped bulbs and or different brands, the result would be the
same. It is also important to point out that Outdoor lighting levels are hard to
quantify, we describe two levels, Direct Sun and Cloudy. For our purposes, Cloudy
describes a day where the sun did not visibly shine through the clouds. Table 5.1

 6. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

This paper concludes that the proposed technique of wireless solar charging for
smartphone is very efficient device. As we give input supply by solar panel so that
we can use device anywhere. Normally wireless chargers are so much power
consuming, but we use renewable source of energy so there is no such issue arises.
We can also use this as normal wireless charger. In India, there are many towns and
villages where electricity is a big concern, so here we can use wireless solar
charger. We can make any smart phone compatible for wireless charging. This
device is compatible with all smartphones, it has very less chance of mobile
overcharging, less chance of mobile accident. It will be also providing safety from
electric shock and it will be very much user and environment friendly.
The world is rapidly going wireless. Within a span of a few decades, phones and internet
became wireless, and now charging has become wireless. Even though wireless charging is
still pretty much in its early stages, the technology is anticipated to evolve dramatically
over the next few years.

The technology has now found its way into a wide array of practical applications ranging
from smartphones and laptops to wearables, kitchen appliances, and even electric
vehicles. There are several wireless charging technologies in use today, all aimed at
cutting cables.

Automotive, healthcare, and manufacturing industries are increasingly embracing the

technology as wireless charging promises improved mobility and advances that could enable
Internet of Things (IoT) devices to be powered from a distance.

The global wireless charging market size is estimated to be worth more than $30
billion by 2026. It offers ultimate convenience to users and ensures safe charging in
hazardous environments where an electrical spark could lead to an explosion.
 7.APPENDIX

Longevity of the System When designing a product, one of the most important
design aspects is how long your device will last, how you will service and repair it,
and how you or the consumer will handle disposal. In our entire design, the limiting
factor is the solar cells. The cells used are gallium arsenide-based cells and as
described above in the safety section, our cells, like many others, contain toxic
inorganic compounds, arsenic in our case. As such, care will have to be taken in the
disposal of the cells. In Europe, the solar energy market is much more prevalent and
developed than in the United States, because of this, more recycling and
recollection options exist for solar cells. [31] While many U.S. companies are
working towards developing disposal plans, currently the best option is making use
of electronic recycling events

Advantages

smartphones). It can charge smartphone anywhere. It does not require wire for charging.
There is no need of electricity. It saves electricity. There is no need of specific Smartphone
for wireless charging
1 Applications: It can be used in houses, offices, airport, upcoming modern railway station.
