A research team led by scientists at China's Southeast University has developed a self-powered photovoltaic-thermoelectric generator (PV-TEG) system that integrates hotspot detection, local thermal management, and wireless monitoring into a TEG array. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) convert heat into electricity through the Seebeck effect, which occurs when a temperature difference between two dissimilar semiconductors generates a voltage. TEGs are commonly used in industrial applications to recover waste heat and convert it into electricity. However, their high costs and limited efficiency ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
