SUCCESS IN THIS FIELD 4cm squired module produces 7.2w of

electricity. GMZ successfully generated 200w

electricity. VEDIO OF THE WORKING MODEL

1.MKV

FUTURE VISION To produce 1000w in fighting vehicle and

military tank. GMZ company working to improve

efficiency of passenger vehicles by 25%. Soon to apply TEG to cars with an aim to

improve efficiency by 5%. No any cooling system for vehicles.

Conclusions Several ongoing demonstration tests on TEG systems

applying to various fields such as industrial furnace, solid waste incinerator, motorcycle and solar thermal energy system have been actively progressed by private companies mostly. Durability of TEG systems for practical fields is the key at the next stage.

•The establishment of the advanced thermoelectric material technology is the urgent matter on the realization of TEG system in the society. Two ongoing national projects are introduced, in which the goal in ZT is 1.3~1.5 for the medium and wide temperature range applications.

•The roadmap on TEG systems is presented for forthcoming 30 years as well as the prospect on the enhancement of module efficiency with several key-words of materials innovation
