TI  - Microturbine and Thermoelectric Generator Combined System: A Case Study.
PG  - 1601-607
AB  - Waste heat recovery is one of the suitable industrial applications of 
      thermoelectrics. Thermoelectric generators (TEG) are used, commonly, only for 
      low-mid size power generation systems. The low efficiency of thermoelectric 
      modules generally does not encourage their combination with high power and 
      temperature sources, such as gas turbines. Nevertheless, the particular features 
      of thermoelectric technology (no moving parts, scalability, reliability, low 
      maintenance costs) are attractive for many applications. In this work, the 
      feasibility of the integration of a TE generator into a cogeneration system is 
      evaluated. The cogeneration system consists of a microturbine and heat exchangers 
      for the production of electrical and thermal energy. The aim is to improve 
      electric power generation by using TE modules and the "free" thermal energy 
      supplied by the cogeneration system, through the exhaust pipe of the 
      microturbine. Three different solutions for waste heat recovery from the exhausts 
      gas are evaluated, from the fluid dynamics and heat transfer point of view, to 
      find out a suitable design strategy for a combined power generation system.
