RADIOISOTOPE THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION

Sustainable energy sources have been a topic of interest over a period of time for many researchers. Nuclear energy is one of the sources that have long been exploited for generating heat and electricity both in large scale and small scale. One of the methods for converting this heat into electrical power is using thermoelectric generators. Radioisotope thermoelectric generators are currently the longest-lived sources of energy; it does not require any human maintenance or refuelling. This paper gives an in dept explanation of how Radioisotopes thermoelectric generators are used in small scale application where the use of solar cells are not practical in deep space mission.
