TL;DR: It is concluded that the conventional droop method cannot achieve efficient power sharing for the case of a system with complex impedance condition, and a novel droop controller that considers the impact of complex impedance is proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional thermoelectric generator model is proposed and implemented in a computational fluid dynamics simulation environment (FLUENT), which accounts for all temperature dependent characteristics of the materials, and includes nonlinear fluid-thermal-electric multi-physics coupled effects.

TL;DR: An accurate TEG model is proposed and implemented in a SPICE-compatible environment that accounts for all temperature-dependent characteristics of the thermoelectric materials to include the nonlinear voltage, current, and electrothermal coupled effects.

TL;DR: A series of Ni, Cu and bimetallic Cu Ni catalysts with different metals loadings supported on CNTs were prepared by impregnation methods for liquid-phase hydrogenation of furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of system efficiency related to the integration of TEG into thermal energy systems, especially Combined Heat and Power production (CHP), where representative implementations of installing TEG in CHP plants to utilize waste heat, wherein electricity can be generated in situ as a byproduct, is described to show advantageous configurations for combustion systems.
