“…The advantage of the proposed method is the half-VOC-level sampling analog monitoring cycle without DSP or microcontroller unit for calculation of peak power by sequential methods [18]. Octavian et al proposed a special DC-DC Ćuk converter developed to charge batteries with series-connected thermoelectric generators (TEG) [7]. Lertsatitthanakorn performed a cost analysis of the system by obtaining 2.4 W power and 3.2% efficiency at a maximum temperature difference of 150 °C from the waste heat of the stoves used in houses [15].…”

Geothermal energy is a kind of clean energy which has existed since the world existed. Every passing year new geotermal fields are invented and their area of usage is increasing rapidly. In our day, where there is tendency of rising in the energy costs; the geothermal energy rise in importance as an alternative resource. Therefore, in this study the design of the thermoelectric generator which directly transforms the geothermal energy that is one of the renewable energy sources to electrical energy and the execution of the system is carried out. In the system, two different types of TEC1-12706 and TEC1-12710 thermoelectric moduls which are made up of thermoelectric semiconductors that can be easily acquired in the markets are used in the energy transition. In the experimental studies that are performed, the power rating which thermalelectric generators produce in 3 different pressure and 3 different flow rate of hot and cold water are compared. Consequently, it is seen that the speed and the flow rate of the water is efficacious on the power which thermoelectric generators generate.

“…The battery emulators provide reproducible experimental settings by using programmable converters [27], which can be used for unlimited number of trials. They can also be used to emulate fuel cells, photovoltaic systems, thermoelectric generators [28] [29], etc. The emulators can replicate scenarios in stable or dynamic state by loading characteristic curves of voltage and current (VI) of different battery types [22].…”

Currently, many researchers from industry and academic institutions are working on the study of electric vehicles, battery systems and renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, etc.). In order to carry out research on each of these technologies it is required large capital investment for equipment. Additionally, problems must be faced such as variability of environmental parameters, large space requirements, pollution (in some cases), etc. The use of software and hardware to emulate different types of actual batteries shows to be a low-cost and environmentally friendly option due to some of its features. The battery emulator system has the ability to replicate the behavior of any kind of actual battery using a virtual battery model (also known as battery electric model) and a controllable DC/DC power converter to be used in laboratory environments. Moreover, emulators are not only used for batteries, these can be used to emulate fuel cells, photovoltaic systems, wind generators, thermoelectric generator, etc. This survey aims to present the technologies to implement battery emulators based on DC/DC power converters. This survey is split up into five sections. In the first section, as an introduction, we present the advantages offered by the use of battery emulators to the scientific community and the environment. The second section presents a review about batteries (technologies, models, model parameters, etc.) and also it includes the virtual battery models, which are the main components of battery emulators based on DC/DC power converters. In the third section, we present the main DC/DC power converter types used in these systems and their operation modes. Additionally, in section 4 are presented some case studies where different topologies battery emulators based on DC/DC power converters with battery model are analyzed. These topologies are focused on their use in electric vehicles (EV).Digital Object Identifier (DOI):http://dx. first section, as an introduction, we present the advantages offered by the use of battery emulators to the scientific community and the environment.
