Abstract
Methods and systems of providing power to a user from a thermoelectric and thermal system are provided. The system may include a heat absorber, a plurality of thermoelectric converters with each thermoelectric converter comprising a hot side thermally coupled with the absorber, and a fluid conduit thermally coupled with a cold side of each of the plurality of thermoelectric converters. The absorber, plurality of thermoelectric converters, and fluid conduit may be located within an evacuated enclosure. The method may include selecting a current drawn from the thermoelectric and fluid heating system based on user demand for electric power and heat.
