Design and Analysis of Solar Cell

Presented By: PRADEEP KUMAR IMI2011012

OBJECTIVE ?
Design the High efficient Thermoelectric Generator
Minimize the effective cost of TEG

CONTENT
Introduction Thermoelectric Effects Peltier effect Thomson effect Seebeck effect Materials used Literature Survey Work Done Future Work

INTRODUCTION
device which convert heat directly into
electrical energy, using phenomenon called The Seebeck effect

Seebeck effect is based on Thermoelectric Phenomena: Peltier effect Thomson effect

PELTIER EFFECT
When two dissimilar material are placed in same temperature then heat release or absorbed
A B

= Peltier Coefficient of material A = Peltier Coefficient of material B

THOMSON EFFECT
When a single material placed in different temperature
then heat release or absorb.

Q = (T/ x) I
= Thomson coefficient

SEEBECK EFFECT
Voltage developed when two dissimilar material
are placed at different temperature.

SB = Seebeck Coefficient of Material B SA = Seebeck Coefficient of Material A

DEVICE EFFICIENCY
