Innovative Energy Harvesting: Thermoelectric Materials and Piezoelectric Vibrations

Background

This project explores two innovative energy harvesting techniques: thermoelectric materials that convert waste heat into electricity and piezoelectric materials that transform vibrations into usable energy. Students will examine how these technologies work, their applications, and their potential to improve energy efficiency, especially in India.

Learning Outcome (LO)

  • LO#1: Understand the principles of thermoelectric and piezoelectric effects.
  • LO#2: Explore applications of these materials in energy recovery and harvesting.
  • LO#3: Analyze the effectiveness of different energy harvesting methods.
