Abstract

Substation is one of the most important parts of power system. The manual inspection is still used in many substations in Malaysia. Obviously, it is significant to establish an aid inspection monitoring and positioning system in substations, which is useful to the inspectors and manager. Thus, this project focused on Thermoelectric Powered High Temperature using Boost Converter with Supercapacitor to help user in monitoring temperature. This project aims to detect the high temperature using Thermoelectric generator (TEG) where is connected to a DC to DC boost converter circuit and power up the microcontroller circuit to send the data to user. The main objective of this project is to design DC-DC Boost Converter that is able to harvest energy using TEG with super capacitor. Meanwhile, the supercapacitor stores energy to supply the current to the microcontroller circuit if the main power source was not available. In this project, the energy harvesting and boost converter were introduced for mankind in the future and the performance of the system was analysed.
