Abstrakt: The increase in demand for electricity due to industrial development and the growing use of electronic equipment has led to the need for new alternative energy sources, such as photovoltaic solar energy conversion. In this context, organic photovoltaic (OPV) stands out as an efficient way of generating energy indoors. An electrical power supply system (EPS) was developed to power a commercial electronic lock, using OPV as the energy source. The system was designed with a charging control to match the panel voltage to a supercapacitor charge accumulator and a boost converter. Tests on the bench and in a real scenario demonstrated the viability and effectiveness of the system, showing that it is capable of operating self-sufficiently with a minimum daily illuminance of 250 lux for 12 h. The results indicate that the system can be applied to various loads with low energy consumption, promoting energy efficiency in different contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
