Improving the Energy-Conversion Efficiency of a PV-TE System with an Intelligent Power-Track Switching Technique and Efficient Thermal-Management Scheme

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 v...
