摘要
This article presents the modeling and analysis of a thermoelectric power generator driven by a solar parabolic dish collector. The system is modeled by a set of steady state energy balance equations from the first law of thermodynamics for two main components of the solar parabolic dish collector and thermoelectric power generator. The developed model is analyzed for various operating conditions and design parameters. Modeling results are compared with experimental results and they are within 10% accuracy.
