Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a thermoelectric generator comprising: - a voltage source (40) comprising a thermoelectric element (42), - a starting circuit (20) connected to the voltage source (40), - a DC to DC converter circuit (30) connected to the voltage source (40), - an output (50) connected to the starting circuit (20) and connected to the DC to DC converter circuit (30), and - a controller (60) having an input connected to the voltage source (40), and outputs connected to the starting circuit (20) and to the DC to DC converter circuit (30), wherein the controller (60) is configured: - to deactivate the starting circuit (20) and to activate the DC to DC converter circuit (30) when a voltage (u6) at the output (50) or when a voltage provided by the voltage source (40) rises above a predefined upper voltage threshold, and - to reactivate the starting circuit (20) and to deactivate the DC to DC converter circuit (30) when a voltage (u6) at the output (50) or when a voltage provided by the voltage source (40) drops below a predefined lower voltage threshold.
