Simulation of Initial Characteristics of Thermoelectric Modules in Generation Mode Realized in MATLAB Environment

TeGDS is a graphical user interface for design and simulation of thermoelectric generators. It is realized in MATLAB graphic editor. The software provides easy simulation and analysis of the operation of thermoelectric generators depending on temperature, geometry and by describing the temperature-dependent properties of the materials involved in their construction. This simulation tool allows to design a thermoelectric generator with new data for the material and to optimize the geometry by adjusting the parameters. It can also be used to compare experimental data of a new or commercial module in operating conditions.
