Thermoelectric Power Generation using Solar Energy

Now-a-days power is one of the major crisis among human beings, because of industrial purpose, human requirements etc. Especially in India power demand increases from day by day, so in the need of increasing the power generation, the power plant is also increasing day by day. Fuel is also another major crisis in India. So that alternative resources are used to generate a high and sufficient amount of power. The main aim is to develop a thermoelectric power generator using renewable energy sources. This paper is focused on Thermoelectric Power Generation using solar concentrator, Fresnel lens, Reflecting materials and solar tracking. This will provide an up-to-date review of Thermoelectric Power Generator and their benefits to make solar technology affordable. Thermoelectric power generator is a device which converts the heat energy into the electrical energy. It works based on the principle of seebeck effect. The seebeck effect is the conversion of temperature difference directly into electricity.
