Title:
COMBINED POWER GENERATION DEVICE HAVING SOLAR CELL AND THERMOELECTRIC CONVERSION ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/129539
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a combined power generation device (10) comprising: a photoelectric conversion unit (10A); and a thermoelectric conversion unit (10B) including a thermally conductive layer (15), a plurality of first connection electrodes (20), a plurality of second connection electrodes (21), M pairs of a P-type thermoelectric conversion element (22) and an N-type thermoelectric conversion element (23) (where M is a natural number), and first and second output electrodes (24, 25). The combined power generation device is configured: such that the photoelectric conversion unit (10A) and the M pairs of the P-type thermoelectric conversion element (22) and the N-type thermoelectric conversion element (23) are electrically connected in series with the first and second output electrodes (24, 25) serving as output electrodes; and such that an electric power amount of the thermoelectric conversion unit (10B), which is generated due to a difference between a first temperature of the first connection electrodes (20) and a second temperature of the second connection electrodes (21) that is lower than the first temperature, is larger than an electric power amount of the photoelectric conversion unit (10A) which is decreased at the first temperature as compared to the second temperature.
