Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper presents an energy harvesting system targeted to harness energy from a high internal resistance thermoelectric generator (TEG) under low temperature difference condition. The system is based on a DC–DC boost converter with a maximum power point tracking scheme. An optimal current control scheme and zero current switching technique are applied for low power consumption and high efficiency. An analysis on power losses of the system is performed. A prototype system is built to show the performance and to verify the theoretical analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed system can harvest enough power to run a wireless sensor node at a transmission cycle of 30 s with a minimum input power of 27 μW and a low temperature difference of 1.9 K across the TEG. The peak efficiency of the power conversion can reach 75.2% in the considered input voltage range.
