The magnetic field and angle dependences of the thermopower and Nernst effect for the quasi-two dimensional (q2D) organic conductor alpha-(ET)(2)KHg(SCN)(4) are measured at temperatures below (4 K) and above (9 K) the transition temperature in fields of up to 31 T. In addition, a theoretical model involving a magnetic breakdown effect between the q1D and q2D bands is proposed in order to simulate the data. Analysis of the background components of the thermopower and Nernst effect imply that at low temperatures, in the CDW state, the properties of alpha-(ET)(2)KHg(SCN)(4) are determined mostly by the orbits on new, open Fermi sheets. The quantum oscillations observed in both thermoelectric effects at fields above 8 T are caused only by the alpha orbit.
