Abstract
Even in a highly efficient, state-of-the-art internal combustion engine, the majority of the energy contained in the fuel is converted into wasted heat. With a thermoelectric generator, a part of this wasted energy can be converted into electric energy. So far there are no high temperature thermoelectric materials commercially available. The BMW Group decided to develop a prototype vehicle with a thermoelectric generator in order to investigate the interactions of this technology with the powertrain as well as further fundamental topics.
