      Design, assembly and characterization of silicide-based thermoelectric modules 

      Skomedal, G.; Holmgren, L.; Middleton, H.; Eremin, I. S.; Isachenko, G. N.; Jaegle, M.; Tarantik, K.; Vlachos, N.; Manoli, M.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Berthebaud, D.; Truong, N. Y. Dao; Gascoin, F. (2016)
      Silicides have attracted considerable attention for use in thermoelectric generators due mainly to low cost, low toxicity and light weight, in contrast to conventional materials such as bismuth and lead telluride. Most ...

      Efficiency study of a commercial thermoelectric power generator (TEG) under thermal cycling 

      Hatzikraniotis, E.; Zorbas, K. T.; Samaras, I.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Paraskevopoulos, K. M. (2010)
      Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) make use of the Seebeck effect in semiconductors for the direct conversion of heat to electrical energy. The possible use of a device consisting of numerous TEG modules for waste heat ...

      Simulation based design of a thermoelectric energy harvesting device for aircraft applications 

      Lyras, M.; Zymaride, L.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Louca, Loucas S.; Becker, T. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017)
      Maintenance is, amongst others, a key cost driver in aircraft operation. A wireless monitoring device might be able to reduce these costs. However, the supply of energy to such system via power lines would result in ...
