Kurzfassung englisch:
The thermoelectric energy harvesting device
described in this paper consists of two cavities each
containing a different phase change material, acting as
thermal mass. Thermoelectric generator elements (TEGs)
are attached to the inner part of the fuselage and to the
thermal mass. Therefore, an artificial temperature
difference between the bottom and the top surface of the
TEGs is created during take-off and landing. Different
temperature profiles mimicking short/mid-range European
flights are investigated. The performance in terms of
efficiency, power-to-weight ratio and energy harvested is
studied in detail, both by simulations and experimental
data.
