Abstract

The gradual increase in the price of fossil fuel and their adverse impact on the environment, it is high time to think about renewable energy sources. Having a wide range of applications from mW to W power, thermoelectric generators (TEG) are extensively used as self-governing renewable energy sources. To predict the performances of TEG materials, simulation is a suitable option which gives us the notion about the characteristic behavior of that specific material under certain circumstances. In this paper, it has been designed TEG unit by using ANSYS and finally, the mathematical modeling of TEG has been represented by MATLAB/ Simulink to analyze the various parameters i.e. voltage, current and power in terms of changing the temperature gradient.
