Abstract :
In this paper, we describe a MPPT control method for thermoelectric power generation with single sensor. Estimating the output of the thermoelectric power module (TM) using state space averaging method, the MPPT controller can track the maximum power point. Analyzing the thermoelectric power generation system with boost chopper by state space averaging method, the output of the TM estimates with only current sensor. A prototype experimental model is constructed and tested. The experimental results demonstrate that that the proposed MPPT controller can track the maximum power point perfectly.
