Abstract

Thermoelectric solar generator has a warm and cold store. The thermoelectric solar generator produces an electric voltage in Peltier modules on the basis of the physical Seebeck effect such that the surface area of the module is exposed to a temperature difference or the temperature difference is maintained. The warm and cold store is activated or turned-off by connecting or disconnecting generator operation. The thermoelectric generator operation takes place exclusively by supplying heat energy and cooling. An independent claim is included for a method for generating electrical energy.

Description

Viele Solarkollektoren leiden im Sommer unter einen Überhitzungs-problem bedingt durch den von der Natur gegebenen Überangebot an Wärme aus solarer Einstrahlung.Lots Solar collectors suffer from an overheating problem in summer through the abundance of heat given by nature solar radiation.

Die Funktion des Thermoelektrischen Solargenerators beruht auf eine Temperaturdifferenz zwichen den Flächen einer Anordnung von Peltiermodulen, welche aufrechterhalten wird durch Wärmezufuhr aus den solaren Wärmegewinnen des Solarkollektors und durch Kühlung mit Hilfe der Aussenluft. Aufgrund des Seebeck-Effektes (T. J. Seebeck 1822) entsteht eine elektrische Gleichstromspannung die von der Peltiermodulanordnung externen Verbrauchern zur Verfügung gestellt wird.The Function of the thermoelectric solar generator is based on a Temperature difference between the surfaces of an array of Peltier modules, which is maintained by heat from the solar heat gains of the solar collector and by cooling with the help of the outside air. Due to the Seebeck effect (T. J. Seebeck 1822) creates a DC electrical voltage from the Peltier module arrangement provided to external consumers becomes.

Die Peltiermodule sind bevorzugt thermisch parallel und elektrisch seriell angeordnet.The Peltier modules are preferably thermally parallel and electrically serial arranged.

Gemäß Prinzipschaubild ist zur Erhöhung des Wirkungsgrades eine Fluidzirkulation zwichen Peltiermodule und den Kollektor vorgesehen.According to the principle diagram is to increase the Efficiency fluid circulation between Peltier modules and the Collector provided.

Im Falle von Luft als fluid, kann diese z. B. mit einen elektrischen Lüfter angetrieben werden welches von einer am Kollektor angebrachten kleindimensionierten Fotovoltaikzelle mit elektrischer Energie versorgt wird. Nach Anregung dieser Zirkulation kann die Peltiermodulanordnung selbst den Lüfter mit Strom versorgen.in the Trap of air as fluid, this z. B. with an electric Fan which are driven by a small-sized mounted on the collector Photovoltaic cell is supplied with electrical energy. After suggestion This circulation, the Peltiermodulanordnung itself with the fan Supply electricity.

Grundsätzlich wird die Nachrüstung vorhandener Solarkollektoren um auch als thermoelektrischer Generator arbeiten zu können empfohlen.Basically the retrofit existing solar collectors also as a thermoelectric generator to work recommended.

Der bekannten Problematik der sommerlichen Überhitzung von Solarkollektoren wird mit den Generatorbetrieb entgegengewirkt. Üblicherweise werden Solarkollektoren bei Überhitzungsgefahr entleert bzw. das Fluid (normalerweise Wasser) ausgelassen und damit ausserbetrieb genommen. Der thermoelektrische Generatorbetrieb ist besonders dazu geeignet in Zeiten der Überhitzung den Solarkollektor zur Gewinnung elektrischer Energie zu nutzen.Of the known problem of summer overheating of solar collectors is counteracted with the generator operation. Usually, solar collectors at risk of overheating deflates or the fluid (usually water) discharged and thus taken out of service. The thermoelectric generator operation is especially suitable for times of overheating the solar collector to use for the production of electrical energy.

Im Falle von evakuierten Kollektortypen wie z. B. Vakuumrohrkollektoren ist auch eine Kollektorexterne Vorrichtung die Wärmeaustausch zwichen den Kollektorfluid und der Aussenluft leistet mit zwichengeschalteten Peltierelementen gleichwertig.in the Trap of evacuated collector types such. B. vacuum tube collectors Also, a collector external device is the heat exchange between the collector fluid and the outside air makes Zwichenschelten Peltier elements equivalent.

Der ~20% Wirkungsgrad der modernen Fotovoltaik (abnehmend bei hohen Temperaturen) steht aber gegenüber ein Wirkungsgrad moderner Absorber von Solarkollektoren von bis zu 95% abzüglich der ungewollten Transmissionswärmeverluste sowie der ungewollten Reflexion solarer Einstrahlung. Der heutige Wirkungsgrad von Bi2Te3 Peitierelemente, welche im Temperaturspektrum des thermoelektrischen Solargenerators nach heutigem Stand der Peltiermodulentwicklung besonders geeignet sind, von ~5% bezüglich Seebeck Effekt (unter günstigen Umständen bis zu 8%) stellt zusammen mit den hohen Wirkungsgrad moderner Absorber einen ähnlich effizienten Generator wie die Photovoltaik dar.The ~ 20% efficiency of modern photovoltaics (decreasing at high temperatures) is compared to an efficiency of modern absorbers of solar collectors of up to 95% less the unwanted transmission heat losses and the unwanted reflection of solar radiation. The current efficiency of Bi 2 Te 3 Peitierelemente, which are particularly suitable in the temperature spectrum of the thermoelectric solar generator according to the current state of Peltiermodulentwicklung of ~ 5% with respect to Seebeck effect (under favorable circumstances up to 8%), together with the high efficiency of modern absorber one similar to efficient generator like photovoltaic
