Energy Conversion Using New Thermoelectric Generator
During recent years, microelectronics helped to develop complex and varied technologies. It appears that many of these technologies can be applied successfully to realize Seebeck micro generators: photolithography and deposition methods allow to elaborate thin thermoelectric structures at the micro-scale level. Our goal is to scavenge energy by developing a miniature power source for operating ...
متن کاملThermoelectric energy conversion using nanostructured materials
High performance thermoelectric materials in a wide range of temperatures are essential to broaden the application spectrum of thermoelectric devices. This paper presents experiments on the power and efficiency characteristics of lowand mid-temperature thermoelectric materials. We show that as long as an appreciable temperature difference can be created over a short thermoelectric leg, good pow...
متن کاملRelationship between thermoelectric figure of merit and energy conversion efficiency.
The formula for maximum efficiency (ηmax) of heat conversion into electricity by a thermoelectric device in terms of the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) has been widely used to assess the desirability of thermoelectric materials for devices. Unfortunately, the ηmax values vary greatly depending on how the average ZT values are used, raising questions about the applicability of ZT in the case...
متن کاملConversion efficiency of skutterudite-based thermoelectric modules.
Presently, the only commercially available power generating thermoelectric (TE) modules are based on bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) alloys and are limited to a hot side temperature of 250 °C due to the melting point of the solder interconnects and/or generally poor power generation performance above this point. For the purposes of demonstrating a TE generator or TEG with higher temperature capabili...
متن کاملIntegration of Microprocessor Technology into Energy Conversion / Electrical Machines Courses
___ Advances in microprocessors and micro controller technologies have brought with them many opportunities. These opportunities are being exploited to great economic benefit in the developed world and to a lesser extend by developing countries. At the same time the nature of our industrial plants is changing and computer chips are encountered even in the most elementary equipment. However many...
