Abstract

Energy harvesting from wasting natural energy is a keen interested in research topic in order to find environmentally friendly energy source because of climate change. This paper was investigated energy harvesting issues using thermoelectric technology which used a temperature gradient to generated electricity. This paper describes the investigation of an energy harvest system to be installed on the infrastructure that was constructed with concrete. The system will collect energy from the temperature difference between surface and inside of concrete structure. This paper presents a feasible energy harvesting using the thermoelectric technology on concrete structure in road.
