Abstract

The goal of this paper is to introduce an experimental monitoring system for thermoelectric generator modules. This system consists in using thermoelectric generator devices for producing electrical power. Also it monitors some parameters of a thermoelectric generator such as the temperature of its cold side, the temperature of its hot side, the output voltage, the output current. The system is able to control the active cooling solution of the cold side. The system uses a Raspberry Pi controller board and adjacent electronics for monitoring parameters, for data logging and work flow control.
