A review on the potential sources for producing electricity with thermoelectric generators and different configurations

Thermoelectric source has proven its efficaciousness as a clean and affordable alternative energy source. Thermoelectric generators are the ones which can produce electricity from heat. The concept of thermoelectricity, its production and its related concepts are reviewed in this paper. Peltier tile, a device used as a TEG, is used in various ways to produce electricity which are thoroughly reviewed in this paper. Thermoelectricity produces from these tiles proves to be a very good source of alternate energy. Despite technological revolutions, there are many places devoid of electricity due to various reasons. Thermoelectricity generation would prove to be a very clean and affordable alternative energy source in these areas. This paper reviews TEG how it generates a clean, affordable and easily accessible energy: electricity, without the need of transmission lines.
