Abstract: This paper demonstrates how to recover the waste heat energy form internal combustion engine automobiles, including gasoline vehicles. The key is to directly convert the heat energy from automotive exhaust gases to electrical energy using a thermoelectric generator, which is then regulated by a Booster circuit converter to charge a battery using maximum power point tracking. Hence, the electrical power stored in the battery can be enhanced. This is a two way power storing system i.e. Energy from TEG and electrical generator cum motor can be stored in the battery. Both analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can work well under different working conditions, and is promising for automotive industry.
Keywords: thermoelectric generator, booster circuit.
