“…[20], where the TEG is directly placed in the combustion chamber and it is cooled by a water loop using a pump and a dedicated water tank. The paper [21] describes such water-cooled systems based on natural convection for the TEG. It also mentions Planete Bois cooking/water heating stove integrated with a water tank, where the TEGs are placed directly on the surface of the tank.…”

“…Thermoelectric energy is renewable source of energy, are able to convert the heat energy to electrical power. The thermoelectric generator consists of a number of thermocouples that are connected electrically in series to increase the voltage and thermally in parallel [1], as example, the HZ-20 module which it consists of 71 thermocouples [2,3]. If a load is connected with the TEM HZ-20, a direct current flows and its power output of this device varies with temperature difference.…”

A thermoelectric generator is silent and reliable, can be used to convert a temperature gradient to electricity based on the principles of Seebeck effect and vice versa. Very maximum power point tracker (MPPTs) are widely used in thermoelectric systems in order to extract the maximum available power for varying load and a given temperature difference. The perturbation and observation (P&O) algorithm are one of the most widely used due to ease of implementation. However, the operating point oscillates around the MPP that increase the loss of energy in the power of the TEM. Many improvements of the P&O algorithm have been proposed in order to reduce the oscillations. Therefore, in this paper, a P&O MPPT technique based on PI controller has been used for achieving the Maximum Power Point of a thermoelectric system. Performance of this technique is compared against the P&O based passivity control one through simulations.

This paper presents a wearable thermoelectric generation system which is applied to a helmet. It involves the use of the relatively high temperature difference between the local effect of the head skin and the ambient to generate electricity for powering the LEDs. Meanwhile, the mathematical model of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) and the heat transfer process of the thermo-electric system are established and analyzed.The properties of the head underneath the helmet are also investigated and analyzed. Furthermore, the commercially available modules have been tested and the performance of energy conversion of it has been evaluated experimentally. And the models are verified via the experiments. Models of TEG matched with LED have been certified by the experiment results are presented to optimize the number of the TEG for maximum output and the related circuits are designed. The thermo-electric wearable helmet is manufactured. In addition, the performance of the system under different environmental conditions are evaluated and predicted. The results indicate the feasibility of the wearable thermoelectric generation system and give hints for future improvement of the wearable devices using outside under different environmental conditions. IntroductionWith the high-speed development of the industrialization, the global environmental deterioration and the energy crisis are threatening the long-term steady development of mankind. Thus, governments of all countries have devoted their attentions to the research of the green environmental protection energy like the solar energy, the wind energy, the biomass energy, the geothermal energy and the ocean energy. However, the thermal energy from human body as a huge potential energy is often neglected.Compared with some other energy, the thermal energy from human body is rather unique for being common and stable.Without the chemical reaction, gas emissions, and any moving parts, the thermoelectric generator (TEG) is environment-friendly and maintenance-free. Thus compared to conventional energy conversion systems, thermoelectric generators (TEG) theoretically offers a number of advantages and shows great potential in many field. [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In particular, parts of some applications are focused on the pursuit of energy harvesting from unused sources like mechanical vibrations and wasted heat [2,4,[7][8][9][10].In more details, the thermoelectric modules are commonly used to produce electricity from heat absorption restricted to aero-spatial and automotive industries, in particular, small thermoelectric generator devices used to power localized autonomous sensors [11,12]. However, limited study focused on utilizing the thermal energy from human body for the quantity giant and without the influence by weather and geography. And with the rise of wearable devices microelectronic devices, how to provide long-term, stable and efficient power for them is a key promising technology. In 1999, Kishi et al. [13] put forward a wrist-watch with thermoelectric generators (TEGs...
