Alternatif Pembangkit Energi Listrik Menggunakan Prinsip Termoelektrik Generator

Abstract

Thermoelectric generator (TEG) has been used to produce electrical energy, the working principle of TEG, the temperature difference between two materials, will flow current, and produce a potential difference. This principle is known as the "Seebeck effect" which is a reverse phenomenon of the Peltier (Thermoelectric Cooling, TEC) effect. This research was conducted to determine the electrical nergy capacity produced for 10 TEG modules in series. Testing is done by utilizing heat energy from asphalt, water flow and connected to 10 TEG modules. The test results show that the maximum voltage is 18Voltdc 0.49 Ampere.
