Abstract

The most important strategies of sustainable manufacturing or green manufacturing are encouraging non polluting energy sources and minimizing energy wastage. This can be achieved by utilizing the waste heat that has already been generated by other activities in the industries making double use of a single power source. The power conversion efficiency of industrial equipment is enhanced by integrating with Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) by converting a part of heat energy into the electrical energy. This paper presents a design of hybrid intelligent controller to extract maximum electrical power from the TEG system based on fuzzy logic and synergetic control theory. The designed hybrid controller assures the rapid convergence towards the maximum power operating point with reduced fluctuations under variable temperature and load conditions. The simulation results show effectiveness of proposed method in comparison with P&O and synergetic control methods under different conditions such as variable temperature and load.
