Thermoelectric Oxide Modules (TOMs) for the Direct Conversion of Simulated Solar Radiation into Electrical Energy
The direct conversion of concentrated high temperature solar heat into electrical energy was demonstrated with a series of four–leg thermoelectric oxide modules (TOM). These temperature stable modules were not yet optimized for high efficiency conversion, but served as proof-of-principle for high temperature conversion. They were constructed by connecting two p(La1.98Sr0.02CuO4) and two n-type ...
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 کاملInvestigation of heat loss from a solar cavity receiver
This study examines experimentally the heat loss from a model solar cavity receiver. For this purpose, laboratory-scale cylindrical cavity models with geometric aspect ratios (cavity length to diameter) of 1 and 2, and aperture opening ratios (aperture diameter to cavity diameter) of 0.5 and 1, were built. Each cavity was subjected to constant boundary heat input via heating cables, and was ope...
متن کاملAn Air-Based Cavity-Receiver for Solar Trough Concentrators
A cylindrical cavity-receiver containing a tubular absorber that uses air as the heat transfer fluid is proposed for a novel solar trough concentrator design. A numerical heat transfer model is developed to determine the receiver’s absorption efficiency and pumping power requirement. The 2D steady-state energy conservation equation coupling radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer is ...
متن کاملSolar powered solid oxide fuel cell with thermoelectric generator
Durable, location independent, environmental-friendly sources of energy which allow for modular, few moving parts, low operating noise, high electricity generation efficiency and compact technology are highly desirable. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are promising for such energy system development, since they are energy efficient and, if pure hydrogen is used, have virtually no emissions of gre...
