A major portion of thermal energy in the industry is drained as residual heat to the environment. This excess energy is used for power generation. It becomes a higher preference because non-renewable sources are declining. One of the ways to employ this heat is using TEGs. The thermoelectric modules can recover useful energy by transforming waste heat to electricity. Our project aims to focus on this Waste of Heat. It is predicted that only one-third of the energy is used while the rest two third is jilted as waste heat. Wastage of heat can be seen in every house, while cooking a lot of energy is wasted on the surroundings. Thus, this paper focuses on the recovery of that waste heat from house hold gas stoves. Thermal to electrical energy changeover can be easily performed using a thermoelectric generator. Hence, a stove-powered TEG (SPTEG) appears to be an appealing solution, but in reality, there is a chance for decreased output due to non-homogenous temperature dissipation on the surface. To rectify the above-mentioned problem here, it focusses on the series and parallel connection and the effect of pressure on the thermoelectric generator module. The proposed model can be further developed to gain electrical energy in a wide area.
