Three Optima of Thermoelectric Conversion: Insights from the Constant Property Model

Starting from Ioffe’s description of a thermoelectric converter, we recover the optimal working points of conversion: the point of maximum efficiency and the one of maximal power. Inspired by biological converters’ optimization, we compute a third optimal point associated with cost of energy (COE)....
