Abstract
This article presents an open-source Python package for simulating micro-thermoelectric generators, based on the work by D. Beretta et al. (Sustainable Energy Fuels, 2017). Featuring a user-friendly graphical user interface and robust computational capabilities, the tool is designed for use by scientists, researchers, and engineers to analyze and optimize device designs. The software calculates key performance metrics such as power, efficiency, electrical resistance, open circuit voltage, and short circuit current per unit of device area, based on the device design and material properties. The full source code is available for download on GitHub, enabling further customization.
