Abstract

A thermoelectric power generation system (100) comprises a plurality of thermoelectric generating elements (110) each having a first region (106) and a second region (108). The thermoelectric generating elements (110) are operable to generate electricity (112) when a temperature gradient exists between the first and second regions. The system comprises a first thermoelectric subsystem (102) provided with one or more of the thermoelectric generating elements(110), and a second thermoelectric subsystem (104) provided with one or more thermoelectric generating elements(110). The second region (108) of one or more thermoelectric generating elements of the first subsystem (102) is in thermal communication with the first region (106) of one or more thermoelectric generating elements of the second subsystem (104).
