Abstract
Energy conservation and green technology are most important aspects in all countries around the world. Various technologies have been investigated to address issues such as global warming by reducing the CO2 emissions to the environment. Thermoelectric generators are one of the fastest growing technologies that are being researched all over the world and it has been proven that it is an excellent technology to recover waste heat. The waste heat can be recovered from different industries such as power plants. Transportation power plants (internal combustion engines) and cooking stoves are also potential sources of waste heat. Countries like Japan have invested significant research into thermoelectric generators and have found them to be useful alternative energy sources. It is therefore of great value to investigate the feasibility of employing this technology in Eskom power plants to produce electricity using waste heat from the plant vessels...
