Abstract: In current research, the authors intend to find the optimal arrangement of planar thermoelectric modules to maximize the generated electricity and minimize the maintenance cost of a power system called Damavand power plant. Optimal arrangement is done by mounting a number of thermoelectric modules within the condenser in order to recover the waste heat of the thermal system. For this purpose, firstly, an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is utilized to model the generated power of thermoelectric module and the corresponding maintenance cost. Thereafter, Gambit and Fluent softwares are applied to evaluate the temperature rate through the length of thermoelectric component. Given the derived information, the authors use a recent spotlighted metaheuristic called mutable smart bee algorithm (MSBA) to optimally arrange the thermoelectric modulus for recovering the waste heat of Damavand power plant. Based on the obtained numerical results, it is proven that the proposed frame work is completely capable of finding a practical arrangement of thermoelectric cells within the entry of condenser component.
