Nanostructured energy-harvesting thermoelectrics based on Mg2Si (ThermoMag)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The core concept of the ThermoMag project revolves around developing and delivering new energy-harvesting thermoelectric materials and proof-of-concept modules, based on nanostructured bulk Mg2Si solid solutions. This class of TE material would have the following attractive characteristics: (i) ZT value >1.5 for both n-type and p-type doped material, (ii) operational in the temperature range 300-5 ...

Thermoelectric generator for engine control system (ThetaGen)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

ThetaGen aims to scavenge energy from a turboshaft and convert it in electrical power to feed the engine control unit. It defines and specifies such a power block, benchmarks potential technolgies, develops a demonstrator and prove the concept thru actual measurements on an engine. It gathers companies over four European countries: a aircraft manufacturer, two research labs, an expert in thermoele ...

Reduced Energy Consumption by Massive Thermoelectric Waste Heat Recovery in Light Duty Trucks (HeatReCar)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The main objective of the project is to reduce the energy consumption and curb CO2 emissions of vehicles by massively harvesting electrical energy from the heat within the exhaust system and re-use this energy to supply electrical components within the vehicle or to feed the powertrain of hy-brid electrical vehicles (HEV). The recovery of the thermal energy will be performed by novel, labo-ratory- ...
