Comparative study of MPPT algorithms for thermoelectric generators

In this paper, the modeling of the thermocouple as a power source is examined and a comparative study on suitable Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods is conducted. Algorithms already applied in Photovoltaic (PV) modules are compared, as well as some novel improvements on them. This compariso...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, the modeling of the thermocouple as a power source is examined and a comparative study on suitable Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods is conducted. Algorithms already applied in Photovoltaic (PV) modules are compared, as well as some novel improvements on them. This comparison is based on computer simulations as well as an experimental implementation of those methods applied on a Boost converter.
