Thermoelectric Energy Generation Experiment
Resulting from the Master Thesis of Dominic Bernath with our group, the first prototypes of Thermoelectric Energy Generaters have been installed on our fieldsite in Jungfraujoch for testing. Nice job!
Following the development of an energy harvesting system for the PermaSense wireless sensor nodes in a Master Thesis by Dominic Bernath we installed the first prototype devices for a field test in Jungfraujoch, CH at the beginning of November 2016. These energy harvesters work on the thermolectric principle and harvest electric energy from the heat exchange between the rock surface and the atmosphere (radiation). Two devices were installed on the south flank near the external page High-Alpine Research Station Jungfraujoch and one on the north side down from the Sphinx terrace.2
