Abstract
Management of thermal energy from a computer data center to generate an electrical power output using a thermoelectric generator can include a computer managing thermal output of heat at a location at a computer data center, where the location corresponds to a heat generating computer component. Heat flow is managed from the thermal output using a heating thermal conduit thermally communicating with a heat source of a thermoelectric generator. An electrical output generated by the thermoelectric generator is controlled using the management of the heat flow from the thermal output.
