Waste heat recovery from thermo-electric generators (TEGs)

Hewawasam, L. S.; Jayasena, A. S.; Afnan, M. M. M.; … - In: Energy reports 6 (2020) 2, pp. 474-479

Thermo-electric generators (TEGs) have been identified as promising solid-state devices to recover exhaust waste in internal combustion engines (ICEs). As the TEGs are able to convert heat directly into electricity, they can be used to down size the alternator of the ICEs. However, the addition...
