“…The development of thermoelectric power generation has been a worldwide focal point of concern since 1950s, particularly, after the energy crisis in 1970s. Thermoelectric power generation, including low power and high power generation, has been described in numerous publications [6][7][8]. In recent years it has been realized that in situations where the supply of heat is cheap or free, as in the case of waste heat, the efficiency of the thermoelectric generation system is not an overriding consideration.…”

The hybrid Biomass gasification-Thermoelectric system (BG-TES) is full renewable energy system. Hybrid system was integrated with biomass gasifier and thermoelectric power generation. To illustrate, the rice husk was used to be the alternative fuel in a biomass gasifier and TE generated electric energy for air flow into gasification system. BG-TE system was developed and analyzed in variations of air flow rates in order to show the efficiency of the system. In this study, the different air flow rates were tested of 2.03x10-3, 2.15x10-3 and 2.44x10-3 m3/s with using rice husk 1.2 kg per once operated. The optimum operation condition was considered by comparing between thermal efficiency and air flow rates of BG-TES. The result has been shown that 2.435 x 10-3 m3/s is optimum flow rate for gasification system. It could be generating maximum producer gas which system was operated about 40 minute. Biomass gasification system had 19.43% of thermal efficiency Whereas the conversion efficiency of the TE power generator was around 2.42%. According to the biomass energy, the rice husk is not only the alternative fuel but it is also abundant in remote area. Therefore, the rice husk is one of the promising fuels that can be used to replace the LPG in the lacking power area. The rice husk at one operation was replaced LPG about 0.2 kgLPG. In conclusion, BG-TES using rich husk is the alternative system that can be suitable for lacking power area.
