Title: | Implementation of thermoelectric power generation using DC-DC converter | Authors: | Quek, Naomi Hui En | Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Electrical and electronic engineering::Power electronics | Issue Date: | 2018 | Abstract: | In this report, we study the maximum power efficiency that can be extracted from thermoelectric generator (TEG) modules, which generate power based on the Seebeck effect, where a voltage is produced when there is a temperature difference. Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converters (SEPIC), a combination of boost and buck-boost converters, are added into the system to boost the power from the TEG modules and increase its efficiency further. A microcontroller, programmed with Code Composer Studio, will then be used to convert the information obtained from the SEPIC to a digital form so that the results can be read by the computer and displayed through a graphic user interface (GUI), created using C# Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). There are two GUIs, one in text form, and another in graphical form. The text form displays the values of the voltage, current and power, which is calculated by the programme while the graphical form shows two plots, total input power vs. time and total output power vs. time. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10356/74409 | Schools: | School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering | Rights: | Nanyang Technological University | Fulltext Permission: | restricted | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
