  • Thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a device that can directly convert heat into electrical energy based on temperature gradient. Higher temperature gradient produces higher generated energy. This study aims to analyse three different configurations of TEG in order to obtain an optimum temperature gradient. The configurations were (a) TEG only, (b) TEG attached to heat sink and (c) TEG attached to heat sink and enclosed by ceramic. TEG attached to heat sink was found to be the best configuration with the highest generated voltage and power of 0.35 V and 11.33 mW respectively. Using this configuration to store the energy, the increase of 19% capacity of 3.7 V 200 mAh LiPo battery was obtain within 300 minutes
