The power generated from TEG is relatively unstable owing to temperature variations at its hot and cold side terminals. The dc-dc converters can provide more stable power output thereby improving the overall efficiency of TEG system. However, to faci...

Performance comparison of thermoelectric generators with Extremum seeking control and incremental conductance MPPT methods (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Twaha, S., Zhu, J., & Yan, Y. (2017). Performance comparison of thermoelectric generators with Extremum seeking control and incremental conductance MPPT methods.

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are used for converting heat into electricity, environmentally friendly, without moving parts and with less complexity. One of the problems with TEG is that it has low efficiency and therefore it is necessary to harve...
