Abstract
Waste heat recovery using thermoelectric generator (TEG) is believed to be promising solution to the needs of the community’s electrical energy sources. TEG can produce electrical energy when there is a temperature difference between two different semi-conductor materials hence creating a voltage difference and a current flow. There are several types of TEG commercially available at the market with different specification and capabilities. This research was conducted to compare the power generation capability (Watt/m2) and the power production cost (Rp/Watt) of three TEG module i.e. TEC1-12706, TEC1-12710 and TEC1-12715. The test was conducted with and without the cooling system for the TEG module. The results showed that TEC1-12706 provide the best performance with 3800 W/m2 and 12 $/Watt with heatsink and 475 W/m2 and 97 $/Watt without heatsink.
