3. Solar Thermoelectric Topping Cycle 3
Vacuum Heat Transfer fluid outlet
Enclosure temperature is limited to 400°C
Thermoelectric Characteristics:
Low Temp Absorber
Fluid -high power densities
-reliable, no moving parts, no
Thermoelectric Elements maintenance
-inexpensive
High Temp Absorber -low efficiency

Conclusions
•investigated a thermoelectric topping cycle for
parabolic trough solar thermal power plants
•current materials with ZT=1 will not work in this
application
•ZT=3 or greater is needed, with operating
temperatures around 500-600°C
•other applications may exist within solar thermal
energy at lower temperatures
