Material Optimization for Concentrated Solar Photovoltaic and Thermal Co-generation
We conducted an analytic study of concentrated solar photovoltaic and hot water co-generation based on various solar cell technologies and micro channel heat sinks. By co-optimizing the electricity generation and heat transport in the system, one can minimize the cost of the key materials and compare different tradeoffs as a function of concentration ratio or other parameters. Concentrated sola...
متن کاملThermoelectric Simulation Using Comsol Multiphysics and Analysis of Contact Resistances Effects
Abstract– The objectives of this work were to develop a simulation of the thermoelectric transport phenomena in a device leg, and to study the effects of the thermal and electrical contact resistances on the temperature difference across the leg. For this simulation Comsol, a finite element software, was used. The results showed that as the thermal resistance between the sample and the electrod...
متن کاملGrasp input optimization considering contact position and object information uncertainties
This paper presents a novel approach for grasp optimization considering contact position and object information uncertainties. In practice, it is hard to grasp an object at the designated or planned contact positions, as errors in measurement, estimation, and control usually exist. Therefore, we first formulate the influences of contact uncertainties on joint torques, contact wrenches, and fric...
متن کاملLossless hybridization between photovoltaic and thermoelectric devices
The optimal hybridization of photovoltaic (PV) and thermoelectric (TE) devices has long been considered ideal for the efficient harnessing solar energy. Our hybrid approach uses full spectrum solar energy via lossless coupling between PV and TE devices while collecting waste energy from thermalization and transmission losses from PV devices. Achieving lossless coupling makes the power output fr...
متن کاملModelling of segmented high-performance thermoelectric generators with effects of thermal radiation, electrical and thermal contact resistances
In this study, segmented thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have been simulated with various state-of-the-art TE materials spanning a wide temperature range, from 300 K up to 1000 K. The results reveal that by combining the current best p-type TE materials, BiSbTe, MgAgSb, K-doped PbTeS and SnSe with the strongest n-type TE materials, Cu-Doped BiTeSe, AgPbSbTe and SiGe to build segmented legs, TE...
