Operator based MPPT scheme of power generation system using thermoelectric devises

This paper proposes a new power generation system that utilizes a thermoelectricity generation device. Currently, approximately 60% of generated energy is lost in the form of heat. It is important to utilize this wasted thermal energy in order to save energy. To solve this problem, this paper considers a power generation system that uses a thermoelectricity generation device. Although thermoelectricity generation devices have several advantages, their power generation efficiency is lower than other power generation methods. Therefore, a method that maintains maximum power from the power generation system is necessary. In this paper, a power generation system that utilizes a thermoelectricity generation device is created. Next, the mathematical model of the system is derived. Finally an online maximum power-tracking controller that is based on the operator theory is designed. The effectiveness of the system is evaluated through simulations.
