Abstract

In this paper, an 1.2 kW thermoelectric generation system (TEG) for industrial waste heat energy recovery is developed and implemented. To achieve better performance, a novel hybrid maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method is also proposed. Comparing with conventional perturb and observe (P&O) technique and variable-step P&O method, the presented MPPT method can improve the tracking speed by 85.0% and 78.6% when temperature differences is 180°C according to the simulated results. Also from the experimental results, the proposed MPPT method can improve the tracking speed for 42.8% and 86.2% comparing with the typically-utilized P&O technique when temperature differences are ΔT=60°C and ΔT=180°C, respectively. The proposed method boasts advantages such as fast tracking speed and no additional circuit.
