Abstract

This paper deals with a simulation modelling of a thermoelectric energy harvester for aircraft applications. The aim of this paper is to provide overview of simulation modelling methods, which are used in development process of the autonomic thermoelectric energy harvester. The assumed harvester is based on MEMS technology and is capable to operate as an independent energy source under high range of operational condition required by aircraft applications.
