Sažetak
This paper proposes a system for energy harvesting or converting wasted energy (heat) into electric energy using solid state thermoelectric generators (TEGs). As a source of heat, wasted energy on output power transistors of PA (power amplifier) in AB-class were used. Comparative performance analysis of two different commercially available TEGs was made in terms of thermal and internal electrical resistance, generated voltage and power. The main drawback which restricts wider usage of TEGs are their limits on the power conversion efficiency. Obtained result shows only 2.23% of successfully converted energy. In addition to measurements, further improvements of the harvesting setup were proposed.
