A Theoretical Model for Wearable Thermoelectric Generators Considering the Effect of Human Skin

Aibing Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper presents a theoretical model for w-TEGs considering the effect of human skin, which investigates the influence of various factors on the performance of the device like load resistance, skin effect, and thermal contact resistance. The results show that blood perfusion in the dermis should be considered for power analysis of w-TEG, and the model provides closed-form optimal expressions for load resistance, fill factor, and leg height for maximum power output. The proposed model is extremely helpful for the actual design of w-TEG devices.
