Development of the hybrid storage system using thermoelectric generator

Thermoelectric module (TEM) is a solid-state semiconductor with n-type and p-type materials interconnected by metal strips. The module is only a small thin flat plate with no moving parts, but it can convert the electrical energy into thermal energy and vice versa. It can be used as a heat pump unde...
