Abstract:

In this paper, it has proposed to replace the batteries by thermoelectric generator (TEG) assembly. Usage of batteries in high or medium temperature monitoring system affects the lifetime and required frequent maintenance also. Here TEGs used instead of batteries and output voltage of TEG also measured under various temperature difference level between hot and cold junction. The generated voltage from TEGs boosted and maintained to Three Volt using TPS61200 booster converter. The combination of TEGs and Booster converter investigated under various loaded conditions to test power-delivering capacity. This boosted voltage used to provide energy to the temperature measurement, microcontroller and wireless data transfer circuit in the transmitter module. Microcontroller was programmed to read temperature and to send data at every second once through RF transmitter module.
