Experimental Modeling of Nano Power Generation using Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) from Incinerator Waste Heat

摘要

This paper presents experimental investigation of nano power generation, less than 1 kW size, using Thermoelectric Generator (TEG). The heat source is expected from waste temperature of incinerator, but in the laboratory experimental it was from electric heat source controlled by electronics device. A prototype of 0.02 kW system, comprising 24 modules of TEG bismuth telluride type connected in series, was built. The system is attached with cooling and temperature control to investigate the characteristics. Preliminary experiments and analytical models of electric output power as function of specific temperature were presented. An optimum output power could be set at a certain condition.
