Performance Comparison between Series-Connected and Parallel-Connected Thermoelectric Generator Systems

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The connections between the thermoelectric modules are crucial importance for the performance of the thermoelectric power system. Many studies have been done to improve the output of thermoelectric system, but very little specific to the connections between the modules. A mathematical model of a module has been established, and based on this model, the performance of two systems composed of 6 pieces of thermoelectric modules, one in series connection and the other in parallel connection, is simulated with MATLAB software and then compared. The results can be used as reference for the design and prediction of thermoelectric system.
