열전소자 기반 에너지 하베스팅 블록의 배열에 따른 발전량 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the amount of power generation according to the arrangement of energy harvesting blocks installed instead of building exterior walls. The energy harvesting block is an energy recovery system that combines a thermoelectric generator and phase change material. The thermoelectric generator can generate the power from the waste heat of the building exterior wall by the Seebeck effect. Phase change materials store waste heat of the exterior wall of the building during the day and radiant heat is performed at night. To predict the amount of power generation, an experiment was conducted with the average building exterior wall surface temperature profile in November. A Peltier plate was attached to the energy harvesting block and used to establish the exterior wall surface temperature profile. As a result, the maximum power was 0.119W, which was the largest in the parallel arrangement, It is also indicated that the total amount of electricity generated per day, the parallel arrangement generated the largest amount of power at 0.535Wh/day.
