In this paper, an isolated multi-input single-output (MISO) converter is developed and applied to a thermoelectric energy conversion system to harvest thermal energy. The thermoelectric generators have individual maximum power point tracking functions. Furthermore, such a converter has a high step-up voltage conversion ratio. In addition, the presented converter is imposed on the thermoelectric energy conversion system with the three-point weighting strategy adopted to realize the maximum power point tracking (MPPT). In this paper, the basic principles of this converter are first described and analyzed, and finally some simulated and experimental results are offered to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of such a thermal energy harvesting system.
