PROSPECTS OF USING THERMOELECTRIC CONVERTERS IN AUTONOMOUS (SELF-CONTAINED) POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
The authors identify the advantages of independent power supply and analyze the possibility of using thermoelectric converters to produce electricity at different air temperatures and the depth of the energy source location. Particularly considered is a functional diagram of the self powered heating system using a thermoelectric converter. The authors draw on an example of the energy balance calculating and formulate conclusions.
