Abstract

In order to increase the efficiency and applicability of thermoelectric generation (TEG) system in distributed energy, with the framework of numerical calculation, an optimized scheme of burner is proposed to study the influence of burner structure on flow field，temperature field and the generation performance of a typical multi-level heat source utilization TEG system. The simulative results prove the rationality and feasibility of the proposed optimization method，which indicate that the flow field and the temperature field are optimized, the temperature uniformity of the thermoelectric modules, the output power and efficiency of the system are improved.

Key words
