This work presents the experimental development of the first two prototypes of thermoelectric generators intended for initial electrification of rural isolated homes. The microcontroller system designed for these devices ...

Thermal power generation based on solid-state devices such as thermoelectric generators (TEG) has emerged as a potential alternative for clean energy generation, due mainly to their distinctive advantages such as technology ...

This paper presents a new thermogenerator based on moderate-temperature (up to 175°C) BiTe modules available on the open market. Despite this handicap relative to commercial thermogenerators based on high-temperature ...

In this work, besides being an introduction to new technologies such as thermoelectric generators, solid state, or Peltier modules, is an experimental analysis to determine the behavior of a commercial Peltier thermoelectric ...

Reducing energy consumption is mandatory in self-powered sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks that obtain all their energy from the environment. In this direction, one first step to optimize the network is to accurately ...

We discuss the phase-dependent nonlocal thermoelectric effect in a topological Josephson junction in contact with a normal-metal probe. We show that, due to the helical nature of topological edge states, nonlocal ...

We generalize the theory of thermoelectrics to include coherent electron systems under adiabatic ac driving, accounting for quantum pumping of charge and heat, as well as for the work exchanged between the electron system ...
