Abstract	This research paper presents the complete design, modeling, simulation, and experimental evaluation of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) system based on the Seebeck effect. The research focuses on material selection, module configuration, thermal interface design, electrical integration, and performance optimization for energy harvesting applications. Analytical modeling using MATLAB/Simulink and numerical simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics were carried out to predict thermoelectric behavior under varying temperature gradients and electrical loads. An experimental prototype was developed to validate the simulation results, utilizing a TEC1‑12706 module, aluminum heat distribution plate, fan‑assisted heatsink, and a microcontroller‑based data acquisition system. The findings confirm strong agreement between analytical and experimental outputs, highlighting the importance of thermal management and contact resistance minimization. The study concludes with optimization guidelines and potential real‑world applications including waste‑heat recovery, solar‑assisted harvesting, and roadway energy systems.
