Performance Analysis of Thermoelectric Generator with Sliding Mode Control
摘要
A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is capable of converting heat energy directly into electrical energy. Fluctuations in load and temperature can cause the TEG to operate at a voltage that is not optimal for generating maximum power for a given temperature gradient. This paper examines the electrical performance of a TEG system when the incremental conductance (INC-MPPT) control algorithm is used to optimize energy conversion efficiency. Additionally, the paper evaluates the system's performance under the sliding mode control (SMC- MPPT) algorithm to further enhance energy conversion efficiency.
