Development and Class Practice of Solar Heat Power Generation Device

Abstract

The purposes of this study are to develop a device to learn the mechanism of solar heat power generation, which is one of renewable energy, and to propose a learning process using the device. Developed solar heat power generation device collects solar heat energy in thermal storage medium using reflector plates, and generates electricity using Peltier element modules. A heat sink and a cooling fan are installed on the cooling side of the Peltier module, and then the temperature difference has occurred here. As a result of the experimental class, it is considered that this system becomes a good teaching tool to make students consider the efficient use of energy.
