SUMMARY:Development and test of thermoelectric systems for utilization of waste heat in steel production processes
DESCRIPTION:In the steel industry, large amounts of waste heat are generated in nearly all steps of the steelmaking process. The recovery of this waste heat could be a key technology on the way to net-zero steel production. Various technologies are available for this purpose, including the use of thermoelectric systems for power generation. 
The research project InTEGrated (Funded by EU-RFCS Programme, No. 899248) investigates the use of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to recover thermal energy from two different waste heat sources: 1) EAF cooling water circuit and 2) radiation from steel products. Small prototypes were developed and initially tested in the laboratories. Based on the laboratory results and simulations, advanced prototypes were developed and installed for long-term tests at the EAF cooling water system at Ferriere Nord (Italy) and at the hot rolling mill of ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi in Germany. Prototype design, results of prototype laboratory tests, simulation results and initial outcomes of the long-term tests are presented.
