Abstract

The compatibility approach enables the description of thermoelectric effects in terms of intensive state variables. Within the framework of a new optimization strategy based on selfcompatible thermoelectric elements,the consequences for the maximum electrical power output from a graded thermoelectric generator with fixed length are discussed. Unlike efficiency and coefficient of performance, no strict local criterion exists for maximum power.
