Energy and Exergy Analysis of Solar Parabolic Dish Thermoelectric Generator

Abstract:

The Performance of a thermal system is generally analysed by carrying out energy and exergy analysis of its different subsystems. In the present study the performance of subsystem namely PDC, receiver plate and PDC in a system of solar parabolic dish thermoelectric generator is studied. It is found that the energy and exergy loss are minimum in the receiver plate as compared to PDC and thermoelectric generator (TEG) at a particular direct normal irradiation (DNI). The exergy and energy efficiency in the PDC and TEG increase with increase in concentration ratio.
