Model of the Thermoelectric Generator

The core of the article solves the microsystem model of the electric generator based on the thermoelectric effect. The aim of the future is to further integration and use of nanotechnology. Contents of the article belongs to the category of renewable energy sources with environment energy conversion into electrical energy. The information contained in the article are based on known principles of the thermoelectric phenomenon. This is the first work with the output results. The aim was to verify the possibility of using thermoelectric phenomenon, verifying properties using model, determine the essential characteristics, finding the optimum load, output voltage and output power achieved. The operation control of the thermoelectric generator was realized with the circuit BQ25570. The circuit is designed to get maximum power from the thermoelectric generator, it has a very low quiescent current (488 nA). We used the Micropelt TGP-651 thermoelectric battery as a heat energy converter.
