Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a theoretical modeling of a cogeneration system using multiple heat exchangers and thermoelectric generator. The modeled system, designed for shallow geothermal energy, is a closed piping unit containing water as heat transfer fluid that circulates through a closed loop releasing thermal energy at the surface for heating and sanitary hot water. In addition, a Peltier cells array is attached to the piping system to generate electricity, thus the system is self-sufficient in terms of electric energy. This system helps in alleviating resource scarcity, achieves reduction in pollutant emissions, saves energy and creates sustainable environment for housing developments. Keywords: Thermal and thermoelectric generation. Geothermal energy.
