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 aninnovative renewable energy source that can be applied in conjunction with a heat source, to serve as anefficient hybrid power source, whereby generated heat can be converted to power, thereby increasing thetotal power production. The novel findings brought about is a simulated TEG model in MatLab / Simulinkthat can be configured with respect to an electrical load, to determine TEGs optimal parameters for anincrease in output power (Po) generation and also the TEG thermal / electrical / conversion efficiency (ɳ). |
