“…However, much of the research into stove generators has been laboratory based, such as studies by Rinalde et al [15] and Nuwayhid et al [16,17]. To verify the performance of the generators, the heat source (the fire) is normally replaced by a controllable and constant electrically powered supply.…”

“…The cold side of the TE modules was naturally cooled with the surrounding air. They got a maximum power of 4.2W for one thermoelectric module and they showed that the output per module decreased when the number of thermoelectric modules in the thermoelectric generator increased (Nuwayhid and Hamade, 2005). This is as a result of the decrease in temperature difference between opposite sides of the thermoelectric module.…”

“…In addition, natural air was used to cool the cold-side of the module. In a subsequent prototype their TE generator used 1, 2 or 3 commercially available low-cost power generator modules (Nuwayhid and Hamade, 2005). The cold side of the TE modules was naturally cooled with the surrounding air.…”

Charcoal stoves have widespread use among the poorer households and outdoor food vendors in Nigeria. In order to improve the efficiency of charcoal stoves, various researches have tried integrating a thermoelectric module in the charcoal stove. The researches, however did not exploit the performance of the thermoelectric modules at different ambient temperatures. To evaluate the performance of thermoelectric integrated charcoal stoves in the sub-Saharan Africa, a self-powered, forced air induced thermoelectric charcoal stove experiment was carried out at five different ambient temperatures of 36ºC, 33ºC, 32ºC, 30ºC and 29ºC and an average fuel hotbed temperature of 1023.75ºC. The thermoelectric charcoal stove generated a maximum voltage of 5.25V at an ambient temperature of 29ºC. The least maximum voltage was generated at the highest ambient temperature of 36ºC. It was observed that the maximum voltage increased with decreasing ambient temperature, this could be attributed to the ambient air being used to cool the thermoelectric generator. Therefore, it could be said that the performance of a forced draft thermoelectric charcoal stove increases with decrease in ambient temperature.

“…They used free convection in the side of TE modules and produced output power of 4.2 Watt. Likewise in their research, Hamade and Nuwayhid [13] also designed a single TEG module configuration for the application of waste heat from the burner combined with heat sink thermosyphonic of loop type. Also Champier et al [14] used TE on biomass stove utilizing heat energy to produce electricity for fan and lighting.…”

Abstract. Thermoelectric (TE) modules are a thermo-element device that can harness the heat and convert it into electrical energy. As an electrical generator system, TE has several advantages i.e not noisy, easy maintenance, relatively small, lightweight and environmentally friendly because it does not produce pollution. In this paper, the research about the performance of TE modules that used for electric generator has been done. TE modules utilize low temperature waste-heat from a solar cell that simulated with a combination of a bulb and a collector plate. TE modules which tested are single and double modules, in which for double modules, connectivity Thermal-Series was used. Parameters of performance such as output power generated are determined by measuring the temperatures difference and the voltages difference at the test module as well as using several equations. The results show that the distance of heat source and load applied will greatly affect the performance of thermoelectric generator (TEG) modules. The results showed that the number of modules and loading will greatly affect the performance of TEG modules. The use of heat pipes generate a far greater power 4-6 times on the single TE Module (0.84 mW) than without heat pipe (0.14 mW), and a double TE modules that uses heat pipe will became 4 times larger (1.48mW) than without heat pipe (0.37mW).
