Abstract
Obtain energy from thermoelectric generators based on Peltier cells, using natural and/or artificial heat sources in order to have a new ecological tool that allows the generation of clean energy. The present study is focused on a bibliographic research to determine the parameters that intervene in the validity of energy conversion and it has as an objective to analyze the efficiency of Peltier cells, in a didactic process of heat transference, which provides the necessary conditions to a thermoelectric generator based on Peltier cells. Experiments are carried out based on the changes in the process conditions and the transfer function of process is obtained to achieve efficiency in energy production.
