固体温差发电技术在太阳能领域的应用和简要综述 Brief Review of Solid State Thermal Electric Energy and Applications in Solar Electricity

固体温差发电(TEG)技术是利用塞贝克效应直接将热能转化为电能。TEG的设备具有体积小、无噪声、可靠性高等特点。该技术用绿色环保的发电方式，具有广阔的应用前景。其中对太阳能热的利用是温差发电技术近年发展起来的应用和市场热点。本文对比了温差发电技术与其它太阳能发电方式的异同、并综述讨论太阳能温差发电原理和关键技术。介绍华能集团以国家“千人计划”专家为核心、在开发技术领先的具有市场竞争力的太阳能温差发电解决方案。 Solid state thermal electric generation (TEG) technology directly convert thermal energy to electrical energy. TEG is advantageous in terms of its small size, silent operation and high reliability over traditional sterling-driven thermal electric generators. Furthermore, TEG is one of green technologies with broad applications. In this paper, we compare solar TEG with other solar energy technologies in compelling market values. Moreover, we’ll illustrate the principle and the key technology of solar TEG. We will further review the progress of the solar energy project benefited from a dedicated grant for 1000-plan expert in the China Huaneng Group. This project is lead by the expert of the national 1000-plan in related areas, is to develop products with added IP values, and is to provide a competitive energy solution with TEG technology.
