POWER GENERATION SYSTEM FOR FLOATING BODY STRUCTURE, POWER GENERATION METHOD IN FLOATING BODY STRUCTURE, AND PIPING FOR POWER GENERATION

摘要

To provide a power generation system for a floating body structure, a power generation method in a floating body structure, and piping for power generation, which can obtain electrical energy from thermal energy by generating electricity using a thermoelectric conversion element that generates electricity using the temperature difference due to the Seebeck effect, in the piping that transports a low temperature material and/or a high temperature material which can be used in a floating body structure such as a ship by using one or both of them.SOLUTION: A floating body structure provided with a power generation pipe 10 for passing a fluid F to be transferred from low temperature to high temperature or from high temperature to low temperature generates electricity by flowing the fluid F into a first flow passage 11a inside the power generation pipe 10, using a thermoelectric conversion element 20 provided in the power generation pipe 10, and using the temperature difference between the fluid F and an external A in a floating body structure that generates electricity using heat transfer between the fluid F and the external A in the power generation pipe 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
