PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal power generation system capable of generating a higher power by utilizing exhaust heat from a heat generating section efficiently. SOLUTION: A thermoelectric conversion module 21 is fixed to the lower surface of a burner 20a such that the upper substrate 26b side is heated thus constituting a thermal power generation system 20 where power is generated from the thermoelectric conversion module 21 depending on the temperature difference between the upper substrate 26b side and the lower substrate 26a side. A heat insulation pipe 23 not used for power generation in the thermoelectric conversion module 21 but collecting heat discharged therefrom is also provided, and power is generated again from a thermoelectric conversion module 24 by utilizing heat collected through the heat insulation pipe 23. Furthermore, a plurality of thermoelectric conversion modules 31, 34 and 37 and a plurality of heat insulation pipes 33 and 36 are provided so that each heat insulation pipe 33, or the like, collecting heat discharged from each thermoelectric conversion module 31, or the like, transmits the heat sequentially to a next thermoelectric conversion module 31, or the like.
