In past centuries, men have mainly looked to increase their production of energy in order to
develop their industry, means of transport and quality of life. Since the recent energy crisis …

Reducing the use of fossil fuels and generating renewable energy have always been
important to society. Asphalt pavements cover a high percentage of urban surface areas and …

Most waste heat recovery applications involve a heat source that provides a limited heat flux
that can be converted into electricity by a thermoelectric generator (TEG). When a TEG is …

In this paper, perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm is presented to grab the maximum power
