Abstract
A steam generation apparatusincluding a high-temperature pipedisposed extending horizontally and through which a high-temperature fluid passes; low-temperature pipesdisposed on both sides of the high-temperature pipein a horizontal direction and through which a low-temperature fluid having a temperature lower than that of the high-temperature fluid passes; and a thermoelectric moduleinterposed between the high-temperature pipeand each of the low-temperature pipesfor generating electrical power using a temperature difference between the high-temperature pipeand the low-temperature pipesthe low-temperature pipesbeing configured such that the supplied low-temperature fluid in a liquid form is turned into steam due to heat exchange with the high-temperature fluid and is discharged from an upper portion of the low-temperature pipes
