This paper presents the design of a wearable energy harvesting jacket, which harvests energy from solar and body heat in the outdoor environment. The energy harvesting system consists of 16 photovoltaic (PV) cells, 12 thermoelectric generators (TEGs), and five power management chips, and it charges two AAA NiMH batteries in series. The 16 PV cells are partitioned into four zones (chest, back, right...
In comparison with the Stirling machine, the thermoelectric generator (TEG), based on the Seebeck effect, allows the direct transformation of thermal energy into electric energy. TEG has no moving parts and it does not pollute. Unfortunately, its performance is much under the Stirling machine's efficiency, the main disadvantage being the low voltage of TEG. An important feature of TEG usage in space...
This paper presents a system design of sustainable thermoelectric power generator based on solar concentrator and latent heat storage as a passive heating and cooling sources. The advantage of using thermoelectric cells is the ability to operate at high temperature (∼150°C) environment with no moving parts which make it favourable for solar concentrating applications. In this present experimental...
