Overall Project Details

Title of the Project Charaterization of Thermoelectric generators

Project Keywords renewable energy; mechatronics; energy harvesting; underwater vehicles

Are you currently looking for research assistants? Yes

Number of Research Assistants Needed 1

Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) Any engineering major, math, physics, or computer science

Project Location: The Center for Advanced Power Systems 2000 Levy Avenue

If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? Yes

Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): In-person

Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? 5

Overall Research Project Description This project seeks to experimentally characterize thermoelectric generators to be used as part of underwater submersibles employed to generate electricity using ocean temperature changes. This technology has the potential to enhance endurance of underwater vehicles and support energy resources in diverse applications such as aquaculture.

Research Tasks - Experimental validation of commercially available thermoelectric generators.
- Data analysis of collected data ( temperature, voltage, current, power)
- Summarize results in a technical document

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Excel - recommended but can be learned during the project
CAD - recommended but can be learned during the project

Mentoring Philosophy We meet with the student to identify his/her interests and skills to better formulate project goals that are properly aligned. Additionally, we look for topics or skills that the student wants to develop as part of the research experience. Once these areas of potential growth are identified, we make sure that they become integral parts of the project. Mentors work closely with the student to provide a rewarding research experience.
