A GaN diode EMP arrestor exhibits breakdown in &#x3c;10 ns at reverse-bias voltage &#x3e;20 kV. Additionally, the arrestor exhibits avalanche ruggedness at 1 kA/cmin a 1 mmdevice (i.e. 10 A absolute current) over a period of 500 ns following the onset of breakdown. Finally, the specific on-resistance in the forward direction is &#x3c;20 m&#x3a9; cm.

Provided is an energy harvesting device, including a solar cell including at least one active layer for receiving a first range of electromagnetic frequencies, at least one layer including antenna structures for receiving RF energy and formed on a first side of the solar cell, and at least one semiconductor for absorbing IR energy, and formed on a second side of the solar cell opposite the first side.

Multi-source optimal reconfigurable energy harvester

The present invention is an apparatus and method for delivering energy using a renewable resource. The method includes providing a photovoltaic energy source and applying energy storage to the photovoltaic energy source via a battery storage unit. The energy output from the photovoltaic energy source and the battery system is controlled using a battery control system. The battery control system predicts peak load, develops a schedule that includes when to begin discharging power and when to stop discharging power, shifts power to the battery storage unit when excess power is available, and prioritizes the functionality of the battery storage unit and the photovoltaic energy source.
