TL;DR: In this article, an energy management strategy based on state machine is developed to satisfy TECs power demand, ensure that the TEG works mostly in the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode, and maintain the state of charge of the battery within a suitable range under different operating states.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel concentric annular thermoelectric generator (CATEG) consisting of a concentric thermocouple and an annular heat exchanger is proposed.

TL;DR: The experimental results show that the ADG method can track the maximum power within 140 ms with a 1.1% error rate when the engine operates at 3300 rpm@71 NM, which is superior to the performance of the single dichotomy method, the single gradient method and the perturbation and observation method from the viewpoint of improved tracking accuracy and speed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of the PN leg angle on the output performance of the VATEG by introducing an angle function, and found that the shape difference has a considerable influence on the thermal stability of VATEGs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model of the annular thermoelectric module (ATEM) was established for the studies of the influence of geometrical parameters on output performance under three typical application scenarios with different boundary conditions.
