Refraction-Assisted Solar Thermoelectric Generator based on Phase-Change Lens
Solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs), which are used for various applications, (particularly small size electronic devices), have optical concentration systems for high energy conversion efficiency. In this study, a refraction-assisted STEG (R-STEG) is designed based on phase-change materials. As the phase-change material (PCM) changes phase from solid to liquid, its refractive index and tra...
متن کاملAn Air-Breathing, Portable Thermoelectric Power Generator Based on a Microfabricated Silicon Combustor
The global consumer demand for portable electronic devices is increasing. The emphasis on reducing size and weight has put increased pressure on the energy and power densities of available power storage and generation options, which have been dominated by batteries. The energy densities of many hydrocarbon fuels exceed those of conventional batteries by several orders of magnitude, and this gap...
متن کاملPortable Power Generation via Integrated Catalytic Microcombustion-thermoelectric Devices
U.S. Army systems increasingly require novel methods of high density, fast charging power sources. In this study, a novel alternative to traditional batteries, catalytic microcombustors utilizing hydrocarbon fuels, are fabricated and characterized. These devices are found to be robust, easy to start up, operable over a wide range of compositions and temperatures, and able to support complete co...
متن کاملEnergy Payback Optimization of Thermoelectric Power Generator Systems
An analytic model for optimizing thermoelectric power generation system is developed and utilized for parametric studies. This model takes into account the external thermal resistances with hot and cold reservoirs. In addition, the spreading thermal resistance in the module substrates is considered to find the impact of designing small fraction of thermo elements per unit area. Previous studies...
متن کاملMicro Solar Thermal Power Harvesting using Thermoelectric Generator
ABSTRACT The use of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) in generating useful power from solar thermal energy is demonstrated. This device represents a portable and autonomous power generation system operating from solar power, capable of powering micro/nano systems. The TEG was integrated with a micro solar thermal collector plate to enhance the thermal radiation absorption capacity of the hot sid...
