Micro Thermoelectric Generator and circuit.

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello

I have designed a Micro Thermoelectric Generator (μTEG) and now I want to connect it to a simple circuit with only a resistance load (RL) to know the power disipated by this resistance.

I think I set all terminals correctly to connect the circuit with the TEG but the circuit ignores the internal resistance of the TEG, so the TEG is like a ideal voltage source, how can I fix that and get a perfect coupling?

Thanks

Hello
I have see your question in the forum. In recent days, I have met the same question in the simulating progress. How do you set the resistance load to connect with the thermoelectric generator.
I am in preliminary stage, Waitting for your reply.
