Generation of Electricity through Dry Waste

Abstract: The growing need for sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions has led to innovative approaches to utilizing waste as a resource. This paper explores an integrated system combining automatic waste segregation, incineration, and thermoelectric energy conversion for electricity generation. Using sensors, an Arduino microcontroller, and servo motors, waste is automatically segregated into dry and wet categories, ensuring efficient handling. It also surveys the process of electricity generation from dry waste through an incineration-based system. The study focuses on the design and implementation of a system that employs the TEC 12706 Peltier module to convert heat energy generated during waste combustion into usable electrical energy. The proposed method addresses key challenges in waste management by harnessing the thermal energy from incinerated dry waste while minimizing environmental impacts. The process involves the systematic collection, purification, and combustion of dry waste, optimized to achieve maximum heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency. Through a review of existing technologies and methodologies, this paper highlights the potential of the TEC 12706 Peltier module in small-scale, decentralized energy generation. The results and findings are expected to contribute to the development of cost-effective, eco-friendly energy solutions that promote sustainable waste-to-energy conversion practices.
