Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for adjusting clearances (108) in a turbine. According to one embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a turbine system (100). The system may include one or more turbine blades (104); a turbine casing (106) encompassing the one or more turbine blades (104); and a thermoelectric element (110) disposed at least partially about the turbine casing (106), wherein the thermoelectric element (110) expands or contracts the turbine casing (106) by heating or cooling at least a portion of the turbine casing (106), thereby adjusting a clearance (108) between the one or more turbine blades (104) and the turbine casing (106).
