Hybrid energy harvester

A hybrid energy harvester is an electric power system comprising two or more energy that supply power to a single output. In this project, there are 3 difference situation to place thermoelectric cell for measure and analysed what situation can generate more electricity. Whereby for the first situation place the thermoelectric cell inside the wall room with low temperature condition. Second situation is place the thermoelectric cell outside the wall  room and the third situation is place the thermoelectric cell for both situation which is inside and outside the room.  After do testing with the prototype,  the computer will display the electrical properties by using LABVIEW. The main objective of this research is to measure the best output from 3 different situation at thermoelectric.

In theoretically, by using seebeck effect knowledge. Thermoelectric is describes the potential generated when the junction of two dissimilar metals experiences a temperature difference. That means, the more difference between cold and hot temperature, the more electric will be generate. Then, from basic knowledge will know situation three will generate more electricity because this situation have more differences between hot temperature and cold temperature.

           

This project is generally have reduced fuel consumption, reduced maintenance, and provide highly reliable electric power compared with non-hybrid generators. Most non hybrid engine-driven electric generators run continuously and at a high, fixed RPM, resulting in excess fuel consumption when the load is low. Hybrid energy automatically shut the engine off when sufficient alternative energy sources are available to meet the demand load.
