Title: When does using TEGs in a power plant become worthwhile?

What size of generating station do you need to be working with in order for the system like the one you were discussing to be cost effective?

We answered this question on the show...



Andrew -   I would say that's an open question at the moment.  If I was to really go out on a limb I would say that a megawatt would be the point at which you would get a cost-effective system.
