Abstract

Nowadays the consumer society uses giant amount of energy in its everyday life. A huge part of this energy is used for travelling and traffic. Field of the research project presented in this paper is the energy harvesting with special focus to the energy retrieving systems of electrical vehicles. Effects of thermoelectric generators (TEG) to the driving range of electrical vehicles is analysed, as well as simulation results and a new calibration system for TEGs are introduced in the paper.
