  1. 1. Thermoelectric Generators : A comparison of electrical power outputs depending on temperature.

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Erik Fransson; Daniel Olsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Waste heat; thermoelectric generator; thermoelectric cooler; Seebeck effect.;

    Abstract : Today many processes generate a lot of waste heat, for example industries or cars. One way to make this thermal energy useful is to transform it into electrical energy with a thermoelectric generator (TEG) or thermoelectric cooler (TEC). This technology is not used in any large scale today, but a lot of research is being done on the subject. READ MORE

  3. 2. Energy Harvesting for Electronic Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Oscar Ridell; Pål Nilsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Energy Harvesting; Energy Scavenging; Photovoltaic cells; Electromagnetics; Piezoelectric element; Radiofrequency; Thermoelectric element; Science General; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Energy harvesting enables products to become more self-sufficient of power and offers the possibility to avoid battery exchange and power cables. The performance and applicability of the most promising or popular small scale energy harvesting technologies are investigated in this thesis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Thermal energy harvesting for indoor industrial applications

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Avdelningen för elektronikkonstruktion

    Author : Mengxuan Li; [2017]
    Keywords : Thermal energy harvester; thermal energy generator; temperature difference; air flow; heat sink; comsol multiphysics;

    Abstract : Wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes cannot directly used by the traditional power grid, a most common way to supply power to WSN nodes is to use batteries. However, the battery has a disadvantage that is the limited lifetime, adding an energy harvester to extend the lifetime is a good way. READ MORE

  5. 4. Maximum Net-power Point Tracking of a waste heat recovery system

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Alexander Chabo; Peter Tysk; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Av den frigjorda energin för en lastbils bränsle är omkring 30% i form avspillvärme i avgassystemet. Med implementation av ett spillvärmeåtervinningsystem går det att återvinna en del av den frigjorda energin i form av elektricitet till lastbilens elsystem. READ MORE

  6. 5. A comparison of different connection techniques for thermoelectric generators in vehicle waste heat recovery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Björn Andersson; [2013]
    Keywords : Waste heat recovery; thermoelectric generator; maximum power point tracking; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Increasing demand for lower fuel consumption increases the importance of a higher total energy efficiency in trucks. Since the efficiency of a modern diesel engine is in the range of 40 %, large amounts of waste heat are produced. Recovering this energy can be done with thermoelectric generators. READ MORE
