Abstract

Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları günümüz dünyasında çok önemli hale gelmektedir. Endüstriyel proseslerden kaynaklanan atık ısı dünyada çok yaygındır ve bu tür kaynaklar elektrik enerjisi elde etmek için kullanılabilir. Teknolojik gelişmelere bağlı olarak termovoltaik güç kaynakları ucuzlamakta ve sağladıkları elektrik güç artmaktadır. Günümüzde termovoltaik güç kaynakları için yeni uygulama sahaları aranmaktadır. Çalı çırpı yakan semaverler, kırsal kesimlerde çay gibi sıcak içecekler hazırlamak için oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Semaverler yalnızca termal güç sağlar. Semaverler sadece suyu kaynatmak için termal güç sağlarlar ve ortama önemli miktarda ısı saldıkları için düşük kaliteli ısı kaynakları olarak kabul edilebilirler. Bir termovoltaik güç kaynağının bir semavere entegre edilmesi, onu bir gerilim kaynağına dönüştürür ve aynı zamanda genel enerji verimliliğini de artırır. Böyle bir sistem, elektrik şebekesine ulaşmanın zor olduğu kırsal alanlarda el feneri ve cep telefonu gibi düşük güçlü yüklere sahip pillerin şarj edilmesini sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmada literatürde ilk kez termovoltaik bir güç kaynağı semaver ile entegre edilmiş ve böyle bir sistemin performansı deneysel olarak incelenmiştir. Sistemin elektrik güç çıkışının düşük olduğu, modülün yarı iletken çiftleri etrafındaki hava konveksiyonunun düşük güç performansına katkıda bulunduğu ve sistemi doğru bir şekilde modellemek için daha karmaşık bir modele ihtiyaç duyulduğu bulunmuştur.

A Thermovoltaic Voltage Source Integrated with a Samovar

Year 2022, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 100 - 105, 31.12.2022

Abstract

Renewable energy sources are becoming very important in today’s World. Waste heat from industrial processes is very common in the world and such sources can be used to obtain electric power. Thermovoltaic power sources are getting cheaper and their electrical power output is getting higher due to technological developments. They have been used with waste heat sources such as hot water flowing out of factories and to obtain electrical sources. Nowadays, new application areas of thermovoltaic power sources are being looked for. Samovars, which burn brushwood, are pretty commonly used in rural areas to prepare warm drinks such as tea. Samovars only supply thermal power to boil water and they can be regarded as low-grade heat sources since they release a considerable amount of heat to the ambiance. Integrating a thermovoltaic power source onto a samovar would turn it into a voltage source and also increase its overall energy efficiency. Such a system may allow charging batteries of low power loads such as flashlights and cell phones in rural areas where it is hard to reach the electrical grid. In this study, a thermovoltaic power source is integrated with a samovar for the first time in the literature and the performance of such a system is experimentally inspected. It has been found that the system’s electrical power output is low, the air convection around the semiconductor pairs of the module may be contributing to its low power performance, and a more complex system model is needed to model it accurately.
