Analysis and Design of an Effective Energy Utilizing TEG System

Abstract

Thermoelectric generation (TEG), the theoretical basis of which is the Seebeck effect, is a new energy-saving and environmentally-friendly power generation technology that directly converts thermal energy into electrical energy. The TEG system has the advantages of simple structure and maintenance-free, and can be used for the conversion of small and medium-sized waste heat in life and electric energy. The heat source is widely distributed, and the generated electric energy is accumulated in a small amount, thereby effectively promoting the construction of a green city. This paper introduces the composition of the TEG system, and verifies its feasibility by establishing models and analytical calculations.
