DESIGN OF A THERMOELECTRIC-BASED GENERATOR FOR MOBILE PHONE CHARGING APPLICATION
The motivation of charging mobile phones with the use of heat coming from lighted candle was a big help in case of calamities and disasters where no power outlets are available. By means of this design project, communication during emergency situations can be extended. These cases include natural disasters such as flood, earthquakes, and even during outdoor activities. Due to these circumstances, an alternative source of energy for charging mobile phone was studied by the design team.
The heat produced by the lighted candle works as the energy source used to power the project design. Thermoelectric Modules (TEM) provides the conversion of temperature differences into electrical energy with the use of Seebeck Effect. Dc-dc step-up converter was also included in the project design to compensate for the low output voltage produced by the TEG.
Tradeoffs among different DC/DC converter integrated circuits were established to determine the best design. Additionally, tradeoffs between two types of thermoelectric modules; thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and thermoelectric generator (TEG) were also considered to determine the best option for heat energy conversion. Multiple realistic constraints such as economic, manufacturability, flexibility, sustainability and functionality were ranked using Otto and Antonsson tradeoff strategies for optimum design.
The use of the significant code and standards for the application of the project were considered. Since the project was all about mobile phone charging, standards such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) including USB Battery Charging Standards 2.1 and USB 2.1 Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) were considered for the technical specifications of the design.
The use of modern engineering software tools in the design process was utilized in order to simulate the project. Software such as LTspice was used for simulating the circuit design. SolidWorks was also used in thermal analysis as well as representing the actual appearance of the prototype.
