Thermoelectric Modules Applied in Buildings

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: This article presents a summary of the characteristics and advantages of thermoelectric modules to be applied in residences.These modules are able to convert thermal energy into electrical energy without to use steam and have no moving parts such as turbines.They can also be used for air conditioning for heating or cooling a room or office.In this article, numerical simulations through TRNSYS are suggested to perform the calculations of power, voltage and heat transfer.Optimization of the modules is also suggested in order to obtain more power generated and cooling power from thermoelectric modules.
