Abstract

In recent years, an increasing concern of environmental problems, in particular global warning and the limitations of energy fuels has resulted in renewed research into new and advanced technologies for generating electrical power. Thermoelectric power generators have emerged as a promising alternative because of its prominent advantages. Thermoelectric power generation offer a potential application in the direct conversion of heat energy that is wasted unnecessarily into electrical power. In this paper, we have presented an energy conversion system in which thermoelectric modules have been attached at the junction of a train engine which will harness the free energy of exhaust and converting into useful power. That energy will be used to drive the internal power requirement of the components of the train.
