Microgenerators are considered to become a substantial part of the decentralised power generation system in the near future. Biomass is widely used as heat source in the Nordics and wood-fired stoves serve as point heat sources for both homes and outdoor cabins. By using residual/waste heat from wood stoves the thermoelectric generator (TEG) based generation units can become an auxiliary source of power, especially for off-grid locations. This report illustrates experimentations on converting waste heat to power with TEG in both laboratory and real-life conditions. In addition thermal characteristics of the TEG conversion unit are examined.
