Title: | Towards an AMTEC-like device based on non-alkali metal for efficient, safe and reliable direct conversion of thermal to electric power | Authors: | Tumminelli, Gianluca FERRUGGIA BONURA, Salvatore SCIORTINO, LUISA CANDIA, Roberto LO CICERO, UGO Santoro, Fabio COLLURA, Alfonso BARBERA, Marco |
Issue Date: | 2018 | First Page: | 1 | Abstract: | Alkali Metal ThermoElectric Converters directly convert heat into electric energy and have promising applicability in the field of sustainable and renewable energy. The high theoretical efficiency, close to Carnot's cycle, the lack of moving parts, and the interesting operating temperature range drive the search for new materials able to ensure safe and reliable operation at competitive costs.The present work focuses on the design of a non-alkali metal based cell and on the fabrication of a testing device to validate the design work. The selection of a new operating fluid for the cell improves durability, reliability and safety of the device. Finally, we discuss possible applications to already existing thermal energy sources. | Conference Name: | 2018 AEIT International Annual Conference | Conference Place: | Bari, Italy | Conference Date: | 03-05 October, 2018 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34787 | URL: | https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8577462 https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85060275576 |
