... Thermoelectric (TE) power generation is based on the ‘Seebeck-Effect’ describing the generation of a voltage from a heat flux through one or more TE leg pairs (thermocouples) each composed of p-type and n-type thermoelectric semiconductor materials. Micropelt uses compounds of Bismuth (Bi), Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Selenium (Se) because of their useful perfor- mance at operating temperatures from below room temperature up to 200 ° ...

... The har- vested energy gradually charges C1 while the load draws current out of it. The charge current related to the thermal gradient that the TEG experiences, the load current depends on the application. It’s important that the application itself manages its power intake to prevent C1 from discharging below the set voltage (TR1), leading to the DBM’ ...
