Abstract - Electrical energy is the most popular
energy due to the following advantages like-smooth operation,
ease of handling, easy to conversion, better efficiency , easy
to start etc. The main purpose of Electrical power system is to
generate and supply the energy to consumers.t The demand of
electrical energy is increased day by day due to the increasing
population so increased the generation of electrical energy is
important so we have choose the thermoelectric generator for
generation of electricity from waste heat of the motor,
transformer etc. This waste heat recovered by TEG and
electricity generated is used to street lamp.
Key Words: Thermoelectric Generator (TEG),Voltage
Regulator, Thermoelectric Module.
1.INTRODUCTION
Thermoelectric generator it is device which is
use for the directly conversion of heat energy into the
form of electrical energy. It is works on the seebeck
principle
Waste heat in manufacturing is generated from
several industrial systems distributed throughout a
plant. The largest sources of waste heat for most
industries are exhaust and flue gases and heated air
from heating systems such as high-temperature gases
from burners in process heating; lower temperature
gases from heat treating furnaces, dryers, and heaters;
and heat from heat exchangers, cooling liquids, and
gases. While waste heat in the form of exhaust gases is
readily recognized, waste heat can also be found within
liquids and solids. Waste heat within liquids includes
cooling water, heated wash water, and blow-down
water. Solids can be hot products that are discharged
after processing or after reactions are complete, or
they can be hot by-products from processes or
combustion of solid materials. Other less apparent
waste heat sources include hot surfaces, steam leaks,
and boiler blow-down water. Exhibit 1 shows typical
major waste heat sources along with the temperature
range and characteristics of the source.
1.1 THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR COMPONENTS
Thermoelectric power generator basically consist of
four major components :
Hot side heat exchanger
Themoelectric module
Cold –side heat exchanger
Copper electrodes
1.2 CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS
There are many TEG materials that are employed
in commercial applications today. These materials can
be divided into three groups based on the temperature
range of operation:
1. Low temperature materials (up to around
450K): Alloys based on Bismuth (Bi) in
