Description

Hi , Welcome to "Design and Optimization of Thermoelectric generators"—deals with generation of electrical power from heat. In this course, you will explore how to optimize the design and material to get the maximum power output. Analytical and numerical analysis is done for different types of design and material. Experimental analysis is done with conventionally available thermoelectric generators. Thermoelectric generators are the clean source of energy. Pollution control and global warming can be reduced. This course on Micro Thermoelectric Generators gives a deep dive into the science and engineering behind this emerging technology. Beginning with the fundamental principles of thermoelectric generation, we explore why µTEGs are vital for powering miniaturized devices, from wearable sensors to biomedical implants. You will gain knowledge in modeling, allowing them to simulate various geometries and thermal gradients. The course emphasizes optimizing thermoelectric materials, enabling students to experiment with novel compounds to maximize efficiency. Through advanced design optimization and simulation are available, participants will be equipped to analyze their own µTEGs. Beyond theory, the course highlights real-world applications, from waste heat recovery to generate power. By the end, you’ll have the expertise to both design and innovate with µTEGs, thus shaping the future of micro-scale energy harvesting.
