SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HARVESTING ENERGY DOWN-HOLE FROM AN ISOTHERMAL SEGMENT OF A WELLBORE |
摘要 |
Systems and methods of generating power in a wellbore extending through a subterranean formation are described. A swirling flow of pressurized fluid is passed through a vortex tube to generate a temperature differential between first and second outlets of the vortex tube. The temperature differential is applied to a thermoelectric generator configured to convert the temperature differential into a voltage. The thermoelectric generator produces electrical power that is transmittable to down-hole tools within the wellbore such as an inflow control valve. |
