“Waste heat recovery with thermoelectric power generators can improve energy efficiency & provide distributed electricity generation.” The strategy of how to recover this heat depends on the temperature of waste heat gases and economics involved. The energy lost in exhaust gases cannot be fully recovered. However, much of the heat could be recovered & loss minimizes by adopting ideal performance conditions at the system level. The performance of TEG relies on more factors than traditional Thermoelectric (TE) material performance metrics alone, Positioning within the automotive system, Module Structure and Electrical Performance of one whole Thermoelectric (TE) system decides the efficiency of heat recovered. This review discusses the performance of TEG in different practical cases & what could be the best arrangement of the array of modules, Placement or Positioning & Conditions for a TEG setup to work in an Automotive System."
