The Small-Scale Portable Power Generator Supports for MSMEs

Abstract

This research was conducted to develop a device for portable solar power generator which serves as the source of solar cell energy. Solar energy is an alternative electrical energy for consumers to save and increase access to electricity, especially for those who are in far locations. The purpose was to design a multipurpose portable device with a storage system for electrical energy obtainable from solar cells and a series of transformers. Meanwhile, a transformer series is provided to anticipate situations when the weather does not support the charging process and this mechanism is also tested using the same variation of batteries. It is expected to increase further innovation as an alternate power source for small portable capacities. A test was performed on this portable generator using an energy source from solar cells, and tested with a variety of battery capacities. This product have ability to increase the variety of electric power supplies a capacities below 100 Watts, which are used as alternating and direct voltages. Finally, what is required of this research, this small-scale portable power generator is used efficiently to support Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and street traders in urban area.
