Abstract:

A photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) hybrid system can be used for efficient thermal energy utilization from the generated waste heat in PV devices. In this article, an efficient PV-TE hybrid system with intelligent power-track switching technique and thermal management based on energy conversion is proposed. To make the output power of PV-TE system stable and normalized, an incorporated stable voltage circuit is designed based on energy conversion. In addition, a control-and-monitoring strategy is launched in the system to realize the normal collecting for the output power of PV-TE system. Finally, a battery protection circuit is performed to ensure that the energy converted by the entire system is effectively stored. The experimental results show that more electrical energy about 84 034 J was obtained with our energy harvesting system than that of a single photovoltaic (PV) cell. Besides, the thermal gradient of PV cells is indirectly reduced the operation of the whole system, which is automatically monitored due to the proposed intelligent power-track switching technique.
