High frequency injection maximum power point tracking for thermoelectric generators
Abstract
Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) can harvest thermal energy from waste heat sources to supply various power levels due to the Seebeck effect. The power generated by a TEG is dependent not only on the temperature difference across them but also on the electrical load applied. Typically, waste heat sources have variable operating conditions which means maximum power point tracking (MPPT) must be employed through the use of power converters to …
