Comparative Analysis of Power Management System for Microbial Fuel Cell

Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is one of the attractive solution to generate electricity from biodegradable organic matter. But there are different technical challenges such as high source impedance, lower specific power density of MFC and ultra low voltage of MFC which limits the usability of the fuel cell. Different energy harvesting schemes to extract energy from MFC are being investigated by the researchers over the past several years. This work provides a comparative analysis of three distinct power management schemes for MFC.
