N2 - With ever shortage of energy sources, there is fast growing interest in the cnergy-cfficicnt technologies for hybrid electric vehicles (HtVs) globally. Based on the thermoelectric (TE) power generation technology, this paper proposes a TE waste heat recovery system for HEVs to directly recover the waste thermal energy to electrical energy for battery charging, hence increasing the overall vehicle fuel efficiency. Whilst a microcontroller-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control system is developed and implemented to draw the maximum power from the TE generator. The analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed TE system can operates effectively under different temperatures, and will be a potential application in the IIEV industry.
