Modeling, simulation and experimental testing of the MEMS thermoelectric generators in wide range of operational conditions

Thermoelectric Generator Based on MEMS Module as an Electric Power Backup in Aerospace Applications

“…Another commercially achievable MEMS thermoelectric modules are manufactured by Laird PLC -formerly Nextreme Thermal Solutions, Inc. [9]. Although tested in [5], the direct implementation of Laird Technologies eTEG PG37 modules was not feasible due to their tiny dimensions for mounting in the BTEG mechanical installation. The footprint of eTEG PG37 is just around 3x3 mm.…”

“…The presented technology demonstrator was built using the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware components whose practical implementability in aerospace industry should be a task for the further testing procedure. Some preliminary test of commercially achievable MEMS thermoelectric modules under the wide range of operation conditions were previously performed and reported in [5].…”

A review on recent opportunities in MATLAB software based modelling for thermoelectric applications

“…Leg 1 and 2 of TEM using MATLAB-numerical Janak L. et al[22] modeled MEMS TEG using MATLAB Simulink (simscape); the special design of the model is MEMS TEG which has supercapacitors and batteries for energy storage applications. Here, the optimization was done by several architecture designs via changing the value in electronic components of MEMS TEG[3,4,20,21,32,36,60,67]. This model was formed as device and it was commercially available for aircraft TEG applications by Extreme Thermal solution, Inc[3].…”
