Article Description

With the fast development of thermoelectric materials, the thermoelectric generator is on the edge of broader commercial application. The objective of this work is to investigate the tech-economic feasibility of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) for power generation from low to medium temperature heat sources in contrast to organic Rankine cycle (ORC). Off-the-shelf TEG and ORC products’ specification are reviewed and two typical models are chosen for analysis. In the techno-economic analysis, technical constraints such as output power and efficiency; the economic metrics, such as net present value, internal rate of return and payback period are considered as evaluation indicators. The comparison results in this study can provide insights of today and outlook of the future for the waste heat recovery and geothermal industry.
