Description
Confronted with the ongoing electricity and energy crises in South Africa and Africa in general, this article articulates a comprehensive modelling of Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG), in an effort to devise an innovative renewable energy source that can be applied in conjunction with a heat source, to serve as an efficient hybrid power source, whereby generated heat can be converted to power, thereby increasing the total power production. The novel findings brought about is a simulated TEG model in MatLab / Simulink that can be configured with respect to an electrical load, to determine TEGs optimal parameters for an increase in output power (Po) generation and also the TEG thermal / electrical / conversion efficiency (ɳ).
