In recent years, an increasing environmental issues of emissions, in particular global warming and the limitations of
energy resources. The possibilities of thermoelectric systems contribution to “green” technologies, specifically for
waste heat recovery. As waste heat recovering techniques, such as thermoelectric generator (TEG) is developed.
Thermoelectric generator direct converts waste-heat energy into electrical power where it is unnecessary to consider
the cost of the thermal energy input. The application of this technology can also improve the overall efficiency the of
energy conversion systems in automobile by using waste heat energy
