Abstract
A power generation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a cooling unit, a thermoelectric module comprising a thermoelectric element disposed on one surface of the cooling unit, and a heat sink disposed on the thermoelectric element; a guide plate disposed opposite the thermoelectric module; and a branch unit disposed on another surface perpendicular to the one surface of the cooling unit. The heat sink includes multiple heat dissipation fins which are spaced apart from each other. The ratio of the shortest horizontal distance between the heat sink and the guide plate to the shortest horizontal distance between the branch unit and the guide plate is 0.0625 to 0.25.
