Thermoharvesting Module

Micropelt TE-CORE

Introduction

1.1 System Introduction

The TE-CORE thermoharvesting module converts locally

available waste heat thermoelectrically to indefinite free

electric energy - as long as the heat flows through the

thermogenerator (TEG). The integral power conversion

and management circuit steps up the ‘gradient-analog’

output voltage of the TEG and outputs a fixed voltage

(2.4 V by default). The harvested energy is being buff-

ered in an extendable capacitor and controlled by a

configurable hysteresis.

For the TE-CORE to serve as the exclusive power supply

to an application it is mandatory to maintain a positive

energy balance, i.e. the amount of energy harvested

over a specific period must be equal or greater than the

energy consumed over that same period (see 1.5).

1.4 Applications

Consider thermoharvesting whenever both wiring and

battery maintenance are hard to accept for reasons of

cost, accessibility, manpower, logistics, hazard etc.
