Please refer to the related databriefs for further details.
The dedicated software GUI (STSW-IDS002V1) displays in a very user-friendly way the SPV1050 features and system
performances to let users test the device in the real operating working condition.
The PMB has to be connected to the above mentioned boards in order to provide the electrical specification of energy
harvesting sources (PV module or TEG) and the power extracted from it, the battery operating voltage and current, the
conversion efficiency, the MPPT accuracy, the environmental irradiance or temperature, and the overall system power budget.
The next section describes the hardware setup and software configuration to perform measures and tests.

2Hardware setup
2.1 STEVAL-ISV021V1
Connect the PMB through the USB cable to the PC first and then connect the STEVAL-ISV021V1 to it as shown
in Figure 5. STEVAL-ISV021V1 and PMB connection. It's strongly recommended to not connect the PMB to the
STEVAL-ISV021V1 if it is not yet powered by the USB cable as its current draining could damage the battery on
the board.
Figure 5. STEVAL-ISV021V1 and PMB connection
Check jumper position on bottom side of the STEVAL-ISV021V1. In order to supply the system by the on board
PV panel, close pins 2-3 of J4 and leave open CN1. When the STEVAL-ISV021V1 is connected to PMB, the
jumpers J5, J6 and J7 must be positioned on the right (close pins 2-3), as shown in Figure 6. Jumpers positioning
on bottom side of STEVAL-ISV021V1.

2.2 STDES-IDS002V1
Connect the PMB through the USB cable to the PC first and then connect the STDES-ERH003V1 to it as shown
in Figure 7. STDES-ERH003V1 and STDES-ERH001D connection. It's strongly recommended to not connect the
PMB to the STDES-ERH003V1 if it is not yet powered by the USB cable as its current draining could damage the
battery on the board.

Check jumper position on bottom side of the STEVAL-IDS002V1. In order to supply the system by the on board
PV panel, close pins 2-3 of J7 and leave J4 open. When STDES-ERH003V1 is connected to PMB, the jumpers J5
and J6 must be left open, as shown in Figure 8. Jumpers positioning on bottom side of STDES-ERH003V1.

2.3 STDES-IDS003V1
Connect the PMB through the USB cable to the PC first and then connect the STDES-ERH001V1 to it as shown
in Figure 9. STDES-ERH001V1 and STDES-ERH001D connection. It's strongly recommended to not connect the
PMB to the STDES-ERH001V1 if it is not yet powered by the USB cable as its current draining could damage the
battery on the board.

2.4 Heater board
The TEG mounted on the STDES-ERH001V1 board provides an easy access to the cold or hot plate to create a
gradient temperature across the two TEG plates. In fact, the second one is generally at ambient temperature. In

UM1752 - Rev 3 page 7/23
order to heat up the exposed surface of the TEG, the Peltier cell based heating module can be used. The module
is not included in the box, but it represents a very immediate tool to quickly warm up the accessible plate of TEG.
It is supplied through its USB cable which has to be connected to a PC. Make sure that the Peltier cell surface is
in contact with the TEG surface located on the bottom side of the STDES-ERH001V1 to guarantee the maximum
heat transfer as shown in Figure 11. Peltier cell heating surface and bottom view of the STDES-ERH001V1 with
exposed TEG plate surface.

3STSW-ISV002V1 Set-up
Install and launch the STSW-ISV002V1 in your PC/laptop.
In the next sections it's reported how to perform the conversion efficiency measurement and the MPPT accuracy
calculation.
3.1 Efficiency measurement and MPPT accuracy calculation using the STDES-
ERH003V1 or the STEVAL-ISV021V1
Once the STDES-ERH003V1 or the STEVAL-ISV021V1 hardware setup is completed and the STSW-IDS002V1
GUI file runs, the following actions has to be taken:
1. Select the “Efficiency Tab”
2. Click “Connect” on PMB panel (highlighted by “1” in Figure 12. Efficiency tab: PV module curve with
efficiency and MPPT data)
3. Select “Solar Efficiency” in the drop-down box in the bottom right side (highlighted by“2” in
Figure 12. Efficiency tab: PV module curve with efficiency and MPPT data)
4. Click on “VOC Calc” button (highlighted by “3” in Figure 12. Efficiency tab: PV module curve with efficiency
and MPPT data). This is necessary only thefirst time the GUI starts and whenever the lighting conditions
change
5. After 20 seconds, efficiency conversion and system power budget will be displayed inthe right side table
(highlighted by “4” in Figure 12. Efficiency tab: PV module curve with efficiency and MPPT data)

In the graph is depicted the real power-voltage characteristic curve of the PV panel at the current light intensity,
the ideal maximum power point (blue dot), and the real operating maximum power point (green dot). Furthermore,
in the table some data are listed as following:
• Input power extracted from the PV panel
• Output power carried out to the battery
• Conversion efficiency (output power / input power)
• Ambient light intensity
• MPPT accuracy (real maximum power / ideal maximum power)
• Open circuit voltage of the PV panel
To perform a faster evaluation it is possible to push on the “Calculate” button. In this case the evaluation time is
only 2 seconds instead of 20 seconds as previously. By performing this action the open circuit voltage Voc is not
detected, and then the P-V curve is determined starting from the ambient light intensity data. This method is faster
but it introduces a small measurement error on efficiency measurement. Also, the “Power Visualization” tab
(Figure 13. Power visualization tab) allows displaying the measures of other quantities like PV module and battery
voltage and current. In particular:
• On channel 1 the V and I profiles of the panel are plotted as a function of time
• On channel 2 the V and I profiles of the battery are plotted as a function of time
• On Channel 3 the output V and I profiles of the ambient light sensor are plotted as a function of the time

3.2 Efficiency measurement using the STDES-ERH001V1
Once the STDES-ERH001V1 hardware setup is completed and the STSW-IDS002V1 runs, the following actions
has to be taken:
1. Select the “Efficiency tab”
2. Click on “Connect” button in PMB panel (highlighted by “1” in Figure 14. Efficiency tab: TEG module curve
with efficiency and MPPT data)
