In the paper an improved model of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) is shown. The electrothermal model was implemented into electronic circuits simulator SPICE and it was used during simulation of energy harvesting processes. In the latest version a dependence of the internal electrical resistance of the Peltier module in respect to temperature changes was introduced. Therefore, better accuracy of the model was achieved especially for small gradients of temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
