Power Generation Using Thermoelectric Generator for Non-Linear Loads

The increasing need of energy has led to the search for new alternative sources of energy. Some of these sourcesinclude geothermal energy that can be extracted from the earth or also the waste heat released from vehicles andmachines (generally vehicles). In this case of thermal heat, thermoelectric generator modules can be used toextract the waste heat energy and convert it into useful electrical energy. This electrical energy output from the TEGmodule will be in DC form. Using an inverter, AC output can be obtained and then used for non- linear loads. Thispaper aims to generate useful power from waste energy using TEG modules, a LUO converter and an NPC inverter.This method can also reduce the pollution and contribute to effective green energy.
