THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION USING RADIANT AND CONDUCTIVE HEAT DISSIPATION

A thermoelectric power generation system includes a solar panel array (110) on a first side of a tower (135) to absorb solar radiation and generate electrical energy and waste heat and a panel (120) on a second side, opposite the first side, of the tower (135). A plurality of thermoelectric elements...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A thermoelectric power generation system includes a solar panel array (110) on a first side of a tower (135) to absorb solar radiation and generate electrical energy and waste heat and a panel (120) on a second side, opposite the first side, of the tower (135). A plurality of thermoelectric elements (125) of the tower (135) are interposed between the solar panel array (110) and the panel (120). The plurality of thermoelectric elements (120) converts conductive heat flow of the waste heat from the solar panel (110) directed toward the panel (120) to electrical energy. A conductive base (160) supports the tower (135) and to conduct heat away from the panel (120).
