A SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR EXTRACTING MAXIMUM POWER IN THERMOELECTRIC GENERATORS

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method of extracting maximum power from Thermoelectric Generators (TEG€™s) under dynamic change in temperature and load conditions. The present invention further relates to a method of extracting maximum power from a thermoelectric generator system or TEG using a maximum power point tracking technique. Additionally the present invention discloses a method of extraction of maximum power from the thermoelectric generator system or TEG using the linear characteristic of the current and voltage of the thermo electric generator TEG. The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Converter system for Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) comprises a programmable power supply 1 , a DC-DC booster convertor 2 , one or more sensors 3 , one or more drivers 4 , a microcontroller unit 5 and divider network.
