Solar Thermal Energy

Modern economy enters the fast developing period of human life and production, demand for energy is growing, is currently the world's most main form of energy is electrical energy, power is the main source of fossil fuel energy conversion and come, however, due to the limitation of fossil energy and the carbon dioxide and sulfur acid produced in the use of fossil fuels, caused the greenhouse effect and the destruction of bad border . To development and utilization new energy are growing importance in worldwide, particularly clean, environmentally friendly energy.Solar energy is the energy of electromagnetic radiation to the earth from sun, solar energy as the one kind of abundant reserves and green environmental protection, the energy can convert to electricity through various conversion ways and relieve the dry condition of fossil energy, also solve the global problems such as greenhouse effect and the corrosion of acid rain.Thermoelectric power is a technology of transit heat energy into electricity directly. Through the perfect combination of thermoelectric power technology and solar thermal energy, solar radiation energy can be converted into electricity; And as progress of material technology, improving semiconductor thermoelectric materials and the performance of thermoelectric power conversion efficiency of solar, solar thermoelectric power technical and solar thermoelectric generator are paid more and more attention by people.The main content of this paper is as follows:1. Introduce the development of thermoelectric materials, thermoelectric materials in the application and development; Solar energy introduction and the application of solar electricity.2. Introduction the basic theory of thermoelectric, analyses the way to improve thermoelectric materials'electricity optimal value and the output power of the thermoelectric generator; And introduce the basic principle of thermal analysis software-ANSYS.3. Simulat the maximization temperature between two ends of solar generator module by use simulation software-ANSYS. 4. Study the component of thermoelectric generator device and do some experiments; Test simulation model feasibility and efficiency through several groups of experiments.5. Finally, summarize this article and analyze the the prospect and view of solar thermoelectric power.
