MPPT Charge Controller for Thermoelectric Waste Heat Harvesting (TEG)
Ultra-low-voltage synchronous boost converter with fractional open-circuit MPPT capturing power from vehicle exhaust heat gradients.
Project Overview
Harvests discarded industrial and automotive thermal energy using Peltier/Seebeck thermoelectric generator modules. A custom ultra-low-voltage DC-DC boost converter starts up from as low as 300mV and boosts output to charge a 5V/12V battery storage unit.
