The use of waste heat from exhaust gas of internal combustion engines in power plants and
CHP plants is considered a promising application field for thermoelectrics (TE). Some recent …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent studies in electrical power generation
from various thermal-consuming processes. In particular, the paper concentrates on TEG …

In past centuries, men have mainly looked to increase their production of energy in order to
develop their industry, means of transport and quality of life. Since the recent energy crisis …

Pellet boilers need auxiliary electrical power to provide CO 2-balanced heat in a comfortable
and environment-friendly way. The idea is to produce this and some extra electricity within …

A computational model has been developed in order to simulate the thermal and electric
behavior of thermoelectric generators. This model solves the nonlinear system of equations …

The burning of biomass in a traditional cookstove has led to significant particulate emissions
and does not utilize the biomass efficiently. A forced draft biomass cookstove can reduce …

Microscale heating devices are mandatory for users located in areas lacking of heating
networks, especially in the rural ones. An interesting option for schools, farms, houses, and …

In order to obtain electricity in off-grid areas and in emergency conditions (earthquake,
hurricane, tidal wave, military field, etc.), a prototype of stove-powered thermoelectric …

High efficiency thermoelectric generators (TEG) can recover waste heat from both industrial
and private sectors. Thus, the development and deployment of TEG may represent one of …

The use of biomass cook stoves is widespread in the domestic sector of developing
countries, but the stoves are not efficient. To advance the versatility of the cook stove, we …
