Inconsistent phenomenon of thermoelectric load resistance for photovoltaic–thermoelectric module (2018)
Journal Article
Li, G., Zhou, K., Song, Z., Zhao, X., & Ji, J. (2018). Inconsistent phenomenon of thermoelectric load resistance for photovoltaic–thermoelectric module. Energy Conversion and Management, 161, 155-161. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2018.01.079

Combing PV with Thermoelectric (TE) would be dominant because it can employ the solar fully spectrum to produce electricity. But the TE efficiency is significantly lower than PV efficiency and the coupling effect between them will limit the performan...

Conceptual development of a novel photovoltaic-thermoelectric system and preliminary economic analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Li, G., Zhao, X., & Ji, J. (2016). Conceptual development of a novel photovoltaic-thermoelectric system and preliminary economic analysis. Energy Conversion and Management, 126, 935-943. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2016.08.074

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd Photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) hybrid system is one typical electrical production based on the solar wide-band spectral absorption. However the PV-TE system appears to be economically unfeasible owing to the significantly hig...

Thermoelectric Element Geometry Optimization for Maximum Hybrid Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric System Efficiency
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shittu, S., Li, G., Zhao, X., & Ma, X. (2018, August). Thermoelectric Element Geometry Optimization for Maximum Hybrid Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric System Efficiency. Paper presented at 17th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET 2018), Wuhan, China

The geometry of thermoelectric elements in a hybrid Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric (PV-TE) power generation system can influence the conversion efficiency of the hybrid system. Therefore, this study investigates the optimum geometry for maximum conversi...
