Harvesting Electric Energy Using Thermoelectric Generators in a Residential Heating Application

Biomass combustors provide space heating by converting chemical energy in woody biomass into low-temperature thermal energy. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) can generate electricity from the heat flux without significantly reducing heating performance. However, most current TEGs are small (40 mm ×...
