2.4.8 Numerical analysis of the 127 couple thermoelectric module configured for thermoelectric power generation with a temperature difference ΔT varied between 0 and 100 K

A summary of the performance characteristics of the 127 couple thermoelectric module obtained by theoretical calculation is shown in Table 1. The temperature difference ΔT, which is equal to TH�TC, has been varied between 0 and 100 kelvin, in 10 kelvin steps, and the results calculated. The thermoelectric module's power generated at the load PL, voltage VL, current IL, and efficiency η, is shown in Figures 5–7 respectively. The results demonstrate the theoretical electrical power generated by a 127 couple thermoelectric module is typically in the mW to watt range when the module is subject to a temperature difference from 10 to 100 K.
