Optimal design of a segmented thermoelectric generator based on three-dimensional numerical simulation and multi-objective genetic algorithm

This paper proposes a general method to optimize the structure and load current for a segmented thermoelectric generator (TEG) module, where the bismuth telluride is selected as the cold side material, and the skutterudite is selected as the hot side material, respectively. Two objectives, minimum s...
