■ design of segmented (multistage) thermoelements
based on a compound of semiconductor materials
with a maximum thermoelectric efficiency at
different temperature ranges (it makes possible to
increase the efficiency of generators up to 10%);
■ combining TEG and solar cells into a single structure
(PV-TEG);
■ design of flexible TEGs based on organic materials.
As it was demonstrated by this paper, an international
cooperation based on IEEE CASS organizational
platform is an effective instrument to solve these tasks.
