英文摘要:
In order to overcome the defects of inconvenient sampling of current sampling for thermoelectric generator maximum power point tracking, the short-circuit current estimation method of thermoelectric generator is proposed. Through the analysis of the equivalent circuit of thermoelectric generator (TEG) and the operation mode of Boost converter, the method of calculating the short-circuit current of TEG which is based on the value and the slope of inductor current during on-time of Boost converter is proposed. The proposed method has the advantages of no influence on the normal work of the main circuit and the simple structure of the hardware. Through simulation and experimental verification, this method is effective and the accuracy of short circuit current estimation is about 99.83%.
