Synthesis and Study on Waste Heat Thermoelectric Generator

The increasing pressure to develop alternative methods for clean energy, as well as the growing release of so-called waste heat from industrial plants and other anthropogenic activities, which according to studies varies between 20 + 50%, has focused efforts on improving a somewhat forgotten technology - thermoelectricity. Thermoelectric modules generate E.M.F. when between their two working surfaces there is a temperature difference. The goal of the article is to answer the question of the appropriateness of using these elements in harvesting devices to obtain electrical energy from low temperature (below 100°C) heat sources.
