Low-Power Maximum Power Point Tracker with Digital Control for Thermophotovoltaic Generators

This paper describes the design, optimization, and evaluation of the power electronics circuitry for a low-power portable thermophotovotaic (TPV) generator system. TPV system is based on a silicon micro-reactor design and low-bandgap photovoltaic (PV) diodes. We outline critical system-level challen...
