Exact Optimum Design of Segmented Thermoelectric Generators

Design and Optimization of Compatible, Segmented Thermoelectric Generators

The thermoelectric compatibility factor is used to rationally select materials for a segmented thermoelectric generator. The thermoelectric potential is used for the exact analytic expressions for materials with temperature dependent thermoelectric properties. This calculation does not assume constant or averaged thermoelectric properties as is often done for analytic results. The calculations ...

Application of the Compatibility Factor to the Design of Segmented and Cascaded Thermoelectric Generators

Using the Compatibility Factor to Design High Efficiency Segmented Thermoelectric Generators

Using thermoelectric compatibility, efficient thermoelectric generators are rationally designed. With examples, compatible and incompatible systems are explained and materials proposed for targeted development. The compatibility factor explains why segmentation of TAGS with SnTe or PbTe produces little extra power, while filled skutterudite increases the efficiency from 10.5% to 13.6%. High eff...

Co-optimized design of microchannel heat exchangers and thermoelectric generators

Designs of heat exchangers have mostly been disconnected to the performance of thermoelectric generator (TEG) systems. The development work, mostly focused on thermoelectric materials, required a significant amount of engineering parametric analysis. In this work, a micro plate-fin heat exchanger applied to a TEG is investigated and optimized to maximize the output power and the cost performanc...
