This work presents a thermoelectric micro generator fabricated by the commercial 0.35 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process and the post-CMOS process. The micro generator is composed of 24 thermocouples in series. Each thermocouple is constructed by p-type and n-type polysilicon strips. The output power of the generator depends on the temperature difference between the hot a...

Dual thermoelectric-photovoltaic (TE-PV) systems are a type of solar energy technology that combines two different technologies to generate electricity by concentrating radiation. These use concentrator focus sunlight onto photovoltaic cell and thermoelectric generator. The aim this paper is develop dual system with water-cooled heat sink from concentrated radiation through Fresnel lenses.In ad...

Cogeneration system is a nonlinear multivariate system with a wide operating regime. The efficiency of electricity generating and thermoelectric conversion coefficient of turbine generator are affected by many factors such as load variation, extracted steam change, and unstable supplied power etc. In this paper, a kind of identification algorithm has been proposed to build the statistical model...

A thermoelectric generator was used to recover waste heat from a source, such as engine exhaust. The key elements of the are exchanger and module. Thermoelectric modules convert energy electrical using Seebeck effect. temperature difference between hot cold sides module is required generate electric power. theoretical model developed predict current, voltage, power output. bismuth Telluride for...
