ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It gives me an immense pleasure to submit this seminar report on “Floating

Solar Power Plant”. I have tried my level best to represent this topic into compact
and to the point framework .
I truly express my deepest thanks to all the people who have given their precious
time and encouragement and my seminar guide Prof. R.S.Pawskar. For his patience
he showed me during the process of preparation of the seminar from the initial
conception to final presentation and all staff of Mechanical department.
I would like to thanks from the core of my heart to our H.O.D of Electrical
department Prof.S.S.Khule for being constant pillar of support, during the
preparatory stages.
Finally yet importantly, I would like to thank my family and friends for their
never ending support and love.

ABSTRACT
In the conventional method for generate electricity is converting thermal energy
into mechanical energy then to electrical energy. In recent years, due to
environmental issues like emissions, global warming, etc., are the limiting factor for
the energy resources which resulting in extensive research and novel technologies are
required to generate electric power. Thermoelectric power generators have emerged
as a promising another green technology due to their diverse advantages. Thermo
Electric Power Generator directly converts this Thermal energy into Electrical
energy. So number of moving and rotating part has been eliminated. By this it
eliminated emission so we can believe this green technology. Thermoelectric power
generation offer a potential application in the direct exchange of waste-heat energy
into electrical power where it is unnecessary to believe the cost of the thermal energy
input. The application of this option green technology in converting waste-heat
energy directly into electrical power can too improve the overall efficiencies of
energy conversion systems. Heat source which is need for this conversion is less
when contrast to conventional methods. In this paper, a background on the basic
concepts of thermoelectric power generation is presented and recent patents of
thermoelectric power generation with their important and relevant applications to
waste-heat energy are reviewed and discussed.
Keywords: - Thermoelectric power generator, waste-heat recovery, alternative green

technology, direct energy conversion, thermocouple , thermal shield, thermoelectric
materials, thermo electric module, thermal fins,hermoelectric effect, Seebeck effect.
