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 کاملThe Effect of Aperture Size on the Cavity Performance of Solar Thermoelectric Generator
In this manuscript, a solar cavity packed with thermoelectric generator modules is investigated numerically. The hot plate of TEG modules make the inner surface of the cube, and the cold plate is outside of the cavity, under natural convection. The TEG modules are electrically in series. The solution algorithm using the equations of heat transfer and generated power of TEG modules is d...
متن کاملImprovement of thermal performance of a solar chimney based on a passive solar heating system with phase-change materials
Passive solar systems such as solar chimneys need solar radiation in order to work. Therefore, they cannot present stable natural ventilation when solar energy vanishes: to have a more robust and stable condition, solar energy should be stored during the day and released back during the night. Phase change materials can save additional thermal energy during the day and release it during the...

متن کاملLoad Frequency Control Based on Improved Fuzzy Controller in the Microgrid with Thermoelectric Generator
The Microgrid is a small-scale controlled power system, which can be used in islanded mode or in a grid-connected one to provide power. In the islanded Microgrid, the system frequency will be affected severely by the smallest disturbance which can happen due to light inertia in the system. In the independent Microgrid, several generation sources such as solar, wind, and so on can be considered....
