RECYCLING INDUSTRIAL WASTE HEAT THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF THERMOPHOTOVOLTAIC AND THERMOELECTRIC: A NOVEL HYBRID TECHNOLOGY FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION

Project Details

Description

The aim of the INFERNO project was to advance the fields of thermoelectrics and thermophotovoltaics. It focused on developing a hybrid and highly modular thermophotovoltaic (TPV) and thermoelectric generator (TEG) system. This system incorporated a metasurface-based collector, featuring a unique design that allowed for easy and cost-effective retrofitting and integration into industrial heat processes. It was the first of its kind to be tested and validated in real industrial settings.
