The present study demonstrates Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) as the potential power source of the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) system. A laboratory-scale MFC was designed using Escherichia coli strain 0A03 as the test organism, and the performance of the MFC was evaluated for pure E. coli media as well as raw effluents (comprising E. coli). The genomic identity of the E. coli strain (GenBank accession number SUB11881822) was established by molecular characterization. The voltage, current and power outputs for the pure culture E. coli-based MFC were 499 mV, 3.08 mA and 1.53 mW, respectively. Simultaneously, the MFC application could accomplish the treatment of the wastewater (raw effluents). Further, the power quality in the transmission system was validated in MATLAB Simulink both for (i) passive power filters and (ii) MFC-integrated UPQC (consisting of active filters). For the same transmission system, the active power filter-based system outperformed the passive power filter system in terms of frequencies and load. In comparison to the passive filer-based systems, the MFC-integrated UPQC could effectively reduce the harmonics in source current and voltages. The total harmonic distortion (THD) in the system for the MFC powered UPQC was 0.7 of fundamental which is as per the requirement of IEEE-519.

摘要

The present study demonstrates Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) as the potential power source of the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) system. A laboratory-scale MFC was designed using Escherichia coli strain 0A03 as the test organism, and the performance of the MFC was evaluated for pure E. coli media as well as raw effluents (comprising E. coli). The genomic identity of the E. coli strain (GenBank accession number SUB11881822) was established by molecular characterization. The voltage, current and power outputs for the pure culture E. coli-based MFC were 499 mV, 3.08 mA and 1.53 mW, respectively. Simultaneously, the MFC application could accomplish the treatment of the wastewater (raw effluents). Further, the power quality in the transmission system was validated in MATLAB Simulink both for (i) passive power filters and (ii) MFC-integrated UPQC (consisting of active filters). For the same transmission system, the active power filter-based system outperformed the passive power filter system in terms of frequencies and load. In comparison to the passive filer-based systems, the MFC-integrated UPQC could effectively reduce the harmonics in source current and voltages. The total harmonic distortion (THD) in the system for the MFC powered UPQC was 0.7 of fundamental which is as per the requirement of IEEE-519.
