Experimental and Simulation Study of Series-Parallel Thermoelectric Power Generation Model Based on Liquid Medium
The power and efficiency of thermoelectric generation are not only affected by the performance of thermoelectric generator and the temperature difference between the hot and cold ends
but also by other factors under certain conditions. Therefore
the effect of series-parallel operation on the efficiency of thermoelectric generator was studied in detail by means of simulation analysis
experimental demonstration
theoretical prediction and experimental test. The series-parallel operation is divided into two types: same series with different parallel
different series with same parallel. From the study of three series-parallel operation conditions
it is concluded that there is only one condition for the maximum power value. At low temperature
the number of series is the same as that of parallel operation
and the internal and external resistance values are the same. The internal thermal resistance and the variation of thermal resistance with hot end and cold end are important factors that influence the maximum power value. The research results provide theoretical support for the application of thermoelectric generator.
