Abstract
The global energy problem due to population growth, industrialization, and depletion of natural resources and environmental issues is a cause of concern. A lot of active research on energy harvesting from waste heat from various sources is being done. The prime concern is to not only reduce the wastage of energy resources but also recycle the energy resources. This will also mitigate the carbon footprints of the environment. A high potential for harvesting the energy lies in the energy obtained from household chores. The energy recycled from waste energy can be made sufficient enough required for microelectronic devices. In this research work, a novel module is designed to generate energy by utilizing the heat obtained from household cooking stoves or chullahs. The designed module employs a thermoelectric energy system coupled with heat sink, DC-DC converter, and booster circuits. Three different modules were designed by modifying different key parameters, and the performance of an energy harvesting system has been evaluated. The results obtained are in good agreement with the simulation results and capable of charging a mobile device.
