Abstract:In this paper, a novel non‐linear model‐based approach is presented for maximum power point (MPP) tracking of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) using the backstepping controller. Considering the output voltage range of the thermoelectric devices, a step‐up DC–DC converter is employed as an interface between the load and input power source. According to the maximum power transfer theorem, if the equivalent input resistance of the converter (Rin) is equal to the internal resistance of the input source (RTEG), the… Show more
