“…The investigation on the conventional thermoelectric application without water cooler produced the temperature differences on the hot and cold side of 65°C, with a generated voltage of 0.55 Volt [34], and produced power less than 1 Watt [32]. In this study, the maximum produced voltage was 2.3 Volt, with a temperature difference of 59°C.…”

To concentrate the rays to the focal point and stabilize the temperature on the receiver were one of the complex works of the two-stage solar concentrator. This paper offers a new method of Fuzzy cascade controller system based on tuning up the optimization at Genetic Algorithm-simple additive weighting (GA-SAW) on the dual parabolic dish concentrator with Compound Parabolic Concentrator. The model and computation of three degrees of freedom robotic arm movement with the ray tracing method were used as the concentrator position predictor. In this research, the acquired fuzzy controller result had an average settling time 0.497 sec, and average rise time 0.277 sec faster than a conventional PID controller. This research was able to overcome the disturbance which was diffused rays, so there was a better output with the power and heat flux increased up to 62.49%. The monte carlo ray tracing method from Tonatiuh Software was used to investigate and movement validation of the dual parabola concentrator by showed the flux distribution on the receiver's absorber. In the last stage, an experiment with a prototype had been conducted as a response verification of the controller system which produce a receiver temperature output as high as 121ºC. The final result showed that the controller system managed to optimize the temperature on the receiver's absorber and generate a stable thermoelectric output with power of 1.01 Watt.

“…Applying a capacitor of this type enabled an effective and stable supply to the microprocessor circuit. In other studies, the authors have used converters of a similar construction, but they concentrated on presenting some general concepts of the power system construction or on analyzing the method of locating the TEG cells on the water pipe [11,12].…”

In this study, we present the results of measuring the performance of selected Peltier cells such as thermoelectric Peltier cooler modules (TEC), thermoelectric micro-Peltier cooler modules (TES), and thermoelectric Seebeck generator modules (TEG). The achieved results are presented in the form of graphs of powering system output voltage or power efficiency functions of the load impedance. Moreover, a technical solution is also presented that consists of designing a water consumption power supply system, using a renewable energy source in the form of a Peltier cell. The developed measuring system does not require additional batteries or an external power source. The energy needed to power the system was obtained from the temperature difference between two sides of a thermoelectric cell, caused by the measured medium which was flowing in a copper water pipe. All achieved results were investigated for the temperature difference from 1 to 10 K in relation to the ambient temperature.

“…This is because the cooler and generator modules have been specifically optimized for different temperature ranges. Cooler modules most effective at temperatures closer to room temperature, as usually found in cooler applications, while generator modules are optimized for higher temperatures [8]. Peltier effect had been implemented in air-conditioning system [9][10], clothes [11][12].…”

Conventionally, a stove had been used to cook and boil. The stove commonly used gasses and charcoals as the fuel element to contribute the heat for cooking. However, the gasses used such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is an extremely flammable gas that commonly contribute to fire while charcoals contribute largely of carbon after the charcoal burning process during cooking. In addition, these stoves are also difficult to control the flame. Therefore, a portable stove operating using Peltier effect is developed and focuses on the development of a portable stove that operates by using a Peltier to provide heat and evaluate the heating control by PID Controller. The stove is developed to evaluate the performance of Peltier Effect in order to replace the LP as a heating element. The minimum operating voltage for the Peltier Effect heating system is specify to be 10.1V, and the maximum is 12.6V, therefore if the supply is lower than the minimum threshold the Peltier will auto shut down. The number of Peltier module and type of Peltier module connection are varied to evaluate the heating performance and power consumption. The controller algorithm, Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller parameters are optimized to control the temperature of heating or cooling when the temperature is being adjusted to its set point.
