Abstract: The electric power generated by thermoelectric modules obviously depends not only on the nature of the modules but also on heat transfers on both sides of these modules. In addition to the improvement of the thermoelectric material and module, analysis of thermoelectric systems is equally important in achieving their high-performance.
