Thermoelectric power generation due to solar heating is a current interest in green energy research. One of the applications of the thermoelectric power generator is involved with the topping cycle, in which the thermoelectric generators were placed on the heat collector elements of a conventional solar concentration power plant. Although the topping cycle is practical and easy to operate, the efficiency...
Thermodynamic formulation of efficiency of thermoelectric power generator is presented in terms of the slenderness ratio (X=(Ap/Lp)/(An/Ln)) and the external load parameter (Y=(RL)/(Ln/ke,nAn)). The optimum values of the slenderness ratio and external load parameter, maximizing the device efficiency, are formulated and predicted for several values of the thermal conductivity and the electrical conductivity...
