S. Kaliappan, N. Sarveswaran

Abstract :

In this paper we propose the conventional method for developing thermoelectric energy harvesting module (TEHM) with battery storage system using low power thermoelectric generator. Thermoelectric generator generates low electric output due to small temperature difference between hot side and cold side. This leads to low productivity and it does not contribute to recharge the battery to store energy. To overcome this, maximum power point tracking is exposed with modified hill climbing fuzzy logic control using PIC microcontroller is taken. This improves voltage and overall efficiency of the system and gives steady state output for battery recharging and storing system. Here we are analyzed TEG with various parameters that shown on MATLAB simulation and also verified this output with TEHM hardware output with maximum efficiency.
