Design of a thermoelectric generator with fast transient response

Design and analysis of a thermoelectric generator for a heavy-duty vehicle in ‎real road test

Heavy duty vehicles have a great share on fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gases in the world, while they waste two third of chemical energy of fuel. On the other hand, simplicity and long life of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are considered more and more to convert thermal energy to electrical one. In this paper a TEG designed in the exhaust system of Renault Midlum 195 Dxi Engine. Th...

Transient Thermoelectric Generator: An Active Load Story

Design of Cascaded Oxide Thermoelectric Generator

This paper describes the design of twoand three-stage cascaded oxide thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for high-temperature heat recovery using reported data to optimize energy conversion efficiency. We used the general intermetallic compounds Bi2(Se,Te)3 and (Bi,Sb)2Te3 for the low-temperature stages and oxides of TiO1:1, La-doped SrTiO3, NaxCo2O4, and Al-doped ZnO for the higher-temperature st...

A Cost Effective Generator Brake For Improved Generator Transient Response

A cost effective, low maintenance generator brake is proposed using recent developments in thick film, metal oxide resistors. The brake has very low resistance, and virtually no inductance, allowing its use &ring a fault to slow a generator’s acceleration. Simulation results using the 39 Bus New England system show that placing brakes at each machine dramatically increases the global stability ...

Multiphysics Simulations of a Thermoelectric Generator

Transient multiphysics simulations are performed to investigate the thermal and electric performance of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) module placed between hot and cold blocks. Effects of heat radiation, thermal and electric contact on the TEG are examined and the simulated results are compared with experimental data. The predicted temperature difference across the TEG module and the electri...
