Abstract

Geothermal energy is probably the biggest wellspring of sustainable power sources. Compared with sunlight and wind power the geothermal power has numerous focal points, including being impenetrable to climate changes, having a steady base burden, and high heat productivity (for the high-temperature geothermal assets). In any case, the total capacity of installed geothermal energy plants falls behind sun based and wind. In this work, the geothermal power has been converged with solar energy. A test model concentrator thermoelectric generator utilizing an explanatory dish concentrator was created and tried. A sunlight-based gatherer has been utilized as the hotspot for the hot side of the thermoelectric module and the geothermal power has been applied as the cold wellspring for the cold side for the thermoelectric module. An electric flow as per the Seebeck hypothesis has been produced, as another wellspring of the sustainable power source. The capability of utilizing concentrated sunlight-based power age framework dependent on the thermoelectric module and geothermal power has been examined. The maximum voltage 11.7 V was obtained in the present work, when the maximum temperature for the hot side 93 °C and cold side 21°C.
