Abstract:
The world is facing energy crisis as our fuel resources coming to end, so there need to be ways to use wasted and available forms of energy to produce electricity or utilize them to reduce usage of other power hungry devices. To meet the increasing world demand for energy, the rate of depletion of non-renewable energy sources must be reduced and need of developing alternative renewable sources. And also there are needs to be ways to use waste heat energy. There are some technologies which implement the recycling of waste heat by which waste heat can be trapped using device called thermoelectric generator and recycle into useful work. Most of the techniques currently available to recover waste heat in the form of thermal energy which is then converted into electricity in a conventional thermal power plant. This production of energy efficiently from waste heat in car engine, thermoelectric generator module is used which works on Seebeck Effect. Here, the power generation is simple, as there is need of only temperature difference to produce power and this is pollution free green technology. Today, 70% of produced energy in automobiles is wasted in form of heat by exhaust gases. This paper tries to prove the feasibility of converting waste heat from automobile to electrical energy. Furthermore, the electrical energy being generated could be supplied to the LED lights of the electrical vehicle (EV) or to charge the battery.
