Abstract: The Thermo Electric Generator can be used produces direct current (DC) to a load (RL) having a
to produce power using the exhaust waste heat from IC terminal voltage (V) and a terminal current (I). There is no
engines (automobiles). This power can be used to intermediate energy conversion process. For this reason,
charge the battery of automobiles (two-wheelers). This thermoelectric power generation is classified as direct
system of charging the battery reduces the fuel power conversion. The amount of electrical power
consumption and battery life is also increased. generated is given by I2RL, or VI.
The project describes the design and analysis of
TEG with the material used. The factors affecting the A unique aspect of thermoelectric energy
efficiency of TEG are studied. The properties of the conversion is that the direction of energy flow is
material, efficiency of TEG and the heat transfer in reversible. So, for instance, if the load resistor is removed
TEG are also studied using ANSYS. and a DC power supply is substituted, the thermoelectric
The objective of the project is to produce power device can be used to draw heat from the heat source
from the waste sources. To reduce the heat let into the element and lower its temperature. In this configuration,
atmosphere. To reduce the fuel consumption of the reversed energy-conversion process of thermoelectric
automobiles. To increase the life of the battery used in devices is invoked, using electrical power to pump heat
automobiles. and produce refrigeration.

Using the first-law of thermodynamics (energy The thermo electric material used in this project is
conservation principle) the difference between Qh and Ql is silicon and germanium. The material is selected on the
the electrical power output we. It should be noted that this basis of power factor , figure of merit and melting
power cycle intimately resembles the power cycle of a heat point.The performance of thermoelectric materials can be
engine (Carnot engine), thus in this respect a expressed as
thermoelectric power generator can be considered as a
unique heat engine.

The term 2/R is referred to as the electrical 30 151
power factor. In general, a thermoelectric power generator
exhibits low efficiency due to the relatively small 45 162
dimensionless figure-of-merit of currently 60 175
available thermoelectric materials. The conversion
efficiency of a thermoelectric power generator defined as
the ratio of power delivered to the heat input at the hot
junction of the thermoelectric device, is given by COLD SOURCE
