  Modeling and Simulation of High-Performance Solar Thermoelectric Generator
  Author(s): Hadi Ali Madkhali* and Ho-Sung Lee
  
  A new and optimum design of a STEG has been developed for attaining an increased efficiency of 21.6%. The new design consists of three cascaded thermoelectric materials. In addition, it includes two glass panes, a selective solar absorber, two radiation shields, and forced air cooling system. The design is modeled theoretically and numerically using ANSYS software. Nomenclature: Area of the absorber (Aa); The cross-sectional area of the thermoelectric elements (Ae); Cross sectional area of thermoelement (Ap, An); Optical concentration (Copt); Thermal concentration (Cth); Direct current (DC); Thermal conductivity (W/mk) (k); Thermal Conductivity for p-type and n-type (Kp, Kn); Leg length (L); Number of thermocouples (n); Heat flux (q); Rate of heat libe..
