Restrictions on the use of fossil fuels, environmental concerns, and rising prices for energy carriers are issues facing the industry today. Therefore, energy-harvesting power generators are a viable option to increase energy efficiency in industrial plants. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have proven their power in straight converting thermal energy into electrical energy through the Seebeck effect. Furthermore, TEGs are considered green technology due to the absence of chemical materials production. In addition, they operate smoothly and silently since they have no moving parts. In this chapter, thermoelectric generator (TEG) technology is explained along with its various applications on a small and large scale for the energy efficiency improvement of the industrial and domestic sectors. In addition, the TEGs performance mechanism, parameters affecting their performance and efficiency, and the relevant equations have been provided. A discussion of some practical TEG examples for industrial applications is presented at the end of this chapter.
