3D-Model of Asymmetric Thermo-Electric Generator Modules for High Temperature Applications
This paper presents the modeling and simulation of an asymmetric thermoelectric module. The thermoelectric module is characterized by a novel module design and a lager temperature range than conventional high-temperature modules. The materials are boron carbide and titanium diboride which were specially developed for use in high temperature range. Particularity of the model described here is the approach of equation based modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics®. Feature of the presented model here is the level of detail and the implementation of temperature-dependent material properties. As a result thermal and electrical performance of the thermoelectric module is presented which includes the decoupled electrical power as well as the current-voltage behavior of the module.
