Abstract

This project is about to design and develop a system using the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) for powering low voltage portable electronic equipment’s. Thermoelectric Generator modules directly convert heat energy to electrical energy and can be used an alternative energy. The waste heat can be used as main source in this project to convert heat energy into electrical energy. The TEG that is used in this project able to generate small voltage when it starts heated. The different temperature between hot side and cool side will generate the small voltage. The boost converter circuit is designed specially to increase the voltage generated from TEG. The designed circuit according the input and output voltage desired. The boost converter is fully controlled by the PIC microcontroller where it controls the switching of circuit. In order to generate small voltage, temperature plays the main role. The temperature controller is specially designed for control the TEG temperature. The output of boost converter 5V directly can be to powering the electronic devices.
