Hybridizing thermoelectric generators with photovoltaic ground-source heat pumps

Researchers in South Korea have analyzed the feasibility of using thermoelectric generators in combination with residential solar-assisted ground-source heat pumps and have found that the thermoelectric devices may act as a suitable power source for data loggers and other sensors in a building system. Scientists from South Korea have conducted a feasibility analysis for combining thermoelectric generators (TEGs) with heat pumps coupled with photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems. TEGs can convert heat into electricity through the "Seebeck effect," which occurs when the temperature difference between ...
