A significant number of islands have been forced to restrict the penetration level of renewable energy sources (RES) in their conventional electrical power systems. These limitations attempt to prevent problems that might affect the stability and security of the electrical system. Restrictions...

Thermoelectric self-cooling systems hold good prospects for the future, since they improve the cooling of any heat-generating device without electricity consumption. The potential number of applications seems to be enormous, hence the necessity of a specific model to simulate this type of...

In this paper, a computational study of the influence of the heat exchangers' thermal resistances (in both the hot and cold side) on the efficiency of a thermoelectric generation device has been carried out.

This paper presents and studies the novel concept of thermoelectric self cooling, which can be introduced as the cooling and temperature control of a device using thermoelectric technology without electricity consumption.

AVENTO was a 3-year research project that was aimed at the development of advanced tools for improved control of ventilation networks in underground coal mines; for i) improving the safety at working areas through a better control of methane emissions and climatic conditions, and ii) optimizing...
