Future Potential

The present scenario is like that the need of the electrical energy is growing rapidly whereas the resource availability is lagging behind the load demand due to its extinction which leads to hinder our overall generation. It has been observed that the sustainable resources have great future potential to take lead to generate power and supply demand. In the present scenario there exists a few energy resources equivalent to fuel resource. So, there must be a technology to trap the waste and unutilized heat available in the atmosphere and utilize it into the form useful electrical energy. In the current situation, waste heat in the form of thermal energy is recovered and converted into conventional electrical energy. Today, 70% of produced energy in automobiles is wasted in form of heat by exhaust gases. The main outcome of this paper is to manage the waste heat is being generated in the vehicles efficiently, by introducing the concept of “Thermo Electric Generator” (TEG) which convert the waste heat produced inside the vehicles and Re-Generate in the form electric current and give it back to the “storage unit” due to “Seebeck effect” concept.

Good Agreement

This research presents a passive method of waste heat recovery and conversion to electricity using Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG). For this purpose, a lab scale bench-top prototype of waste heat recovery and conversion system was designed and fabricated. This bench top system consists of the thermoelectric generators (TEGs) sandwiched between two heat pipes, one connected to the hot side of the TEG and the second connected to the cold side of the TEG. A 2 kW electric heater was used to replicate the waste heat. An electric fan was used to provide air into the system. A theoretical model was developed to predict the system performance. The model was found in good agreement with the experimental data.

Best Fit

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is an efficient way to generate electricity and heat by utilizing the waste heat from the electric generator in place of heat from a separate boiler. Currently, most electricity is purchased from a central utility company that generates power at 35% efficiency; the balance of fuel input energy is lost as heat. With CHP some of the electricity is generated onsite and the waste heat from the generator (water jacket and exhaust) is used for space and water heating and other industrial processes that require heat. This reduces the fuel requirements to the boiler which also reduces emissions of Green House Gases (GHG) and other pollutants. Overall CHP efficiencies can make upwards to 85%. CHP is also known as Buildings Cooling, Heating & Power (BCHP), CHP for buildings (CHPB), Integrated Energy Systems (IES), Total Energy System (TES), Tri-generation (Trigen) and Cogeneration. CHP is best fit where there is demand for heat (or cooling load) and electricity is simultaneous e.g. hospitals, the hotel industry, educational institutes. Exhaust heat can be applied to support cooling loads with absorption chillers.
