Aplikasi Termoelektrik Generator sebagai Sumber Energi Listrik dengan Lensa Fresnel Sebagai Kolektor Panas Matahari

Abstract

It has been designed a thermoelectric generator to produce electricity. By utilizing solar heat as the hot side of the peltier element. Fresnel Lens is used to collect sunlight towards the aluminium plate which is directly on the hot side of the peltier element. The working principle of thermoelectric generator according to the Seebeck effect, where the presence of the temperature difference between the hot side and a cold side peltier there will be a flow of current to produce a voltage.Test results show that by twelve thermoelectric module commonly called a peltier element arranged in series, can produce output voltage of 12,5 Volt to a maximum temperature difference of 72,2 0 C. So it can produce power reached 13,875 Watt
