Abstract:
AbstractHistorically, thermoelectric technology has only occupied niche areas, such as the radioisotope thermoelectric generators for NASA's spacecrafts, where the low cooling coefficient of performance (COP) and energy-conversion efficiency are outweighed by the application requirements.Recent materials advances and an increasing awareness of energy and environmental conservation issues have rekindled prospects for automotive and other applications of thermoelectric materials.This article reviews thermoelectric energy-conversion technology for radioisotope space power systems and several proposed applications of thermoelectric waste-heat recovery devices in the automotive industry.

Abstract:
The European Space Agency is funding the research and development of 241Am-bearing oxide-fuelled radioisotope power systems (RPSs) including radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) and European Large Heat Sources (ELHSs). The RPSs’ requirements include that the fuel’s maximum temperature, Tmax, must remain below its melting temperature. The current prospected fuel is (Am0.80U0.12Np0.06Pu0.02)O1.8. The fuel’s experimental heat capacity, Cp, is determined between 20 K and 1786 K based on direct low temperature heat capacity measurements and high temperature drop calorimetry measurements. The recommended high temperature equation is Cp(T/K) = 55.1189 + 3.46216 × 102 T − 4.58312 × 105 T−2 (valid up to 1786 K). The RTG/ELHS Tmax is estimated as a function of the fuel thermal conductivity, k, and the clad’s inner surface temperature, Ti cl, using a new analytical thermal model. Estimated bounds, based on conduction-only and radiation-only conditions between the fuel and clad, are established. Estimates for k (80–100% T.D.) are made using Cp, and estimates of thermal diffusivity and thermal expansion estimates of americium/uranium oxides. The lowest melting temperature of americium/uranium oxides is assumed. The lowest k estimates are assumed (80% T.D.). The highest estimated Tmax for a ‘standard operating’ RTG is 1120 K. A hypothetical scenario is investigated: an ELHS Ti cl = 1973K-the RPSs’ requirements’ maximum permitted temperature. Fuel melting will not occur.

Abstract:
Fission power is a promising technology, and it has been proposed for several future space uses. It is being considered for high-power missions whose goal is to explore the solar system and even beyond. Space fission power has made great progress when NASA’s 1 kWe Kilowatt Reactor Using Stirling TechnologY (KRUSTY) prototype completed a full power scale nuclear test in 2018. Its success stimulated a new round of research competition among the major space countries. This article reviews the development of the Kilopower reactor and the KRUSTY system design. It summarizes the current missions that fission reactors are being considered as a power and/or propulsion source. These projects include visiting Jupiter and Saturn systems, Chiron, and Kuiper belt object; Neptune exploration missions; and lunar and Mars surface base missions. These studies suggest that the Fission Electric Propulsion (FEP)/Fission Power System (FPS) is better than the Radioisotope Electric Propulsion (REP)/Radioisotope Power System (RPS) in the aspect of cost for missions with a power level that reaches ~1 kWe, and when the power levels reaches ~8 kWe, it has the advantage of lower mass. For a mission that travels further than ~Saturn, REP with plutonium may not be cost acceptable, leaving FEP the only choice. Surface missions prefer the use of FPS because it satisfies the power level of 10’s kWe, and FPS vastly widens the choice of possible landing location. According to the current situation, we are expecting a flagship-level fission-powered space exploration mission in the next 1-2 decades.

Abstract:
The thermoelectric complementary effects have been discovered in the nineteenth century. However, their role in engineering applications has been very limited until the first half of the twentieth century, the beginning of space exploration era. Radioisotope thermoelectric generators have been the actual motive for the research community to develop efficient, reliable and advanced thermoelectrics. The efficiency of thermoelectric materials has been doubled several times during the past three decades. Nevertheless, there are numerous challenges to be resolved in order to develop thermoelectric systems for our modern applications. This paper discusses the recent advances in thermoelectric power systems and sheds the light on the main problematic concerns which confront contemporary research efforts in that field.

Abstract:
We report on the development of a radioisotope power source based on the AlхGaAs1-х/GaAs semiconductor converter of β-radiation and tritium as a radiation source. The transducer efficiencies are compared for three types of β-radiation sources: (i) the tritiated titanium disk, (ii) the tritium lamp of green luminescent glow, and (iii) gaseous tritium. When using a converter based on the Al0.35Ga0.65As/GaAs heterostructure in a tritium capsule, the efficiency η = 5.9% is found with the maximum output specific electric power of 0.56 µW/cm2. Due to the prolonged operational life, such autonomous and compact power sources can be utilized in space technology, underwater systems, growth implants, biomedical sensors, and portable mobile equipment of high realibility.

This study sought to identify the feasibility of utilizing a radioisotope thermal (thermoelectric/stirling) generator to provide power to a deployed USMC Expeditionary Force. The conceptual system architecture was constructed through use of the systems engineering process, identifying necessary subsystems and integration boundaries. Radioisotope comparison was then performed, utilizing weighted design factors. It was determined that Sr-90, Cs-137, and Cm-244 would be the most effective fuel sources for this mission area. By analyzing current thermoelectric technology, it was determined that maximum system efficiency is limited to 1015 percent when utilizing available lead telluride thermoelectrics. Barriers to development of identified physical subsystem components were then identified, including health and environmental hazards of potential isotopes, as well as shielding criteria. The system development was found to be feasible and additional design work and development work is proposed.

Abstract:
The European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) 241Am radioisotope power systems (RPSs) research and development programme is ongoing. The chemical form of the americium oxide ‘fuel’ has yet to be decided. The fuel powder will need to be sintered. The size and shape of the oxide powder particles are expected to influence sintering. The current chemical flow-sheet creates lath-shaped AmO2. Investigations with surrogates help to minimise the work with radioactive americium. This study has proposed that certain cubic Ce1-xNdxO2-(x/2) oxides (Ia-3 crystal structures with 0.5 < x < 0.7) could be potential surrogates for some cubic AmO2-(x/2) phases. A new wet-chemical-synthesis-based process for fabricating Ce1-xNdxO2-(x/2) with a targeted x-values has been demonstrated. It uses a continuous oxalate coprecipitation and calcination route. An x of 0.6 was nominally targeted. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Raman spectroscopy confirmed its Ia-3 structure. An increase in precipitation temperature (25 °C to 60 °C) caused an increase in oxalate particle median size. Lath/plate-shaped particles were precipitated. Ce Nd oxide PXRD data was Rietveld refined to precisely determine its lattice parameter. The data will be essential for future sintering trials with the oxide where variations in its crystal structure during sintering will be investigated. Sintering investigations with micrometric CeO2 and Nd2O3 have been conducted to understand how AmO2 and Am2O3 may sinter. This is the first reported pure Nd2O3 spark plasma sintering (SPS) investigation. A comparative study on the SPS and the cold-press-and-sinter of CeO2 has been conducted. This is the first study to report sintering lath-shaped CeO2 particles. Differences in their sizes and specific surface areas affected powder cold-pressing and caused variations in cold-pressed-and-sintered CeO2 relative density and Vickers hardness. The targeted density range (85-90%) was met using both sintering techniques. The cold-press-and-sinter method created intact CeO2 discs with reproducible geometry and superior Vickers hardness to those made by SPS.

Abstract:
The idea of performing power systems dynamic analysis in the power-angle domain has been hinted at by previous researchers, but this may be the first published document to develop detailed techniques by which entire power systems can be represented and solved in the power-angle domain. With the widespread deployment of phasor measurement units and frequency data recorders the industry is looking for more real-time analytical tools to turn real-time wide-area measurements into useful information. Applications based on power-angle domain analysis are simple enough that they may be used online. Power-angle domain analysis is similar to DC load-flow techniques in that a flat voltage profile is used and it is assumed that real power and voltage angle are completely decoupled from reactive power and voltage magnitude. The linearized equations for the dynamics of generators and loads are included in the model, which allows the electromechanical response to be solved using conventional circuit analysis techniques. The effect of generation trips, load switching, and line switching can be quickly approximated with nodal analysis or mesh analysis in the power-angle domain. The analysis techniques developed here are not intended to be as accurate as time-domain simulation, but they are simpler and fast enough to be put online, and they also provide a better analytical insight into the system. Power-angle domain analysis enables applications that are not readily available with conventional techniques, such as the estimation of electromechanical propagation delays based on system parameters, the formulation of electromechanical equivalents, modal analysis, stability analysis, and event location and identification based on a small number of angle or frequency measurements. Fault studies and contingency analysis are typically performed with detailed time-domain simulations, where the electromechanical response of the system is a function of every machine in the interconnection and the lines connecting them. All of this information is rarely known for the entire system for each operating condition; as a result, for many applications it may be more suitable to compute an approximation of the system response based on the current operating state of only the major lines and generators. Power-angle domain analysis is adept at performing such approximations.

Nuclear power is the next enabling technology in manned exploration of the solar system. Scientists and engineers continue to design multi-megawatt power systems, yet no power system in the 100 kilowatt, electric, range has been built and flown. Technology demonstrations and studies leave a myriad of systems from which decision makers can choose to build the first manned space nuclear power system. While many subsystem engineers plan in parallel, an accurate specific mass value becomes an important design specification, which is still uncertain. This thesis goes through the design features of the manned Mars mission, its power system requirements, their design attributes as well as their design faults. Specific mass is calculated statistically as well as empirically for 1-15MWe systems. Conclusions are presented on each subsystem as well as recommendations for decision makers on where development needs to begin today in order for the mission to launch in the future.

Abstract:
Recently, the environmental impact of aircraft and rising fuel prices have become an increasing concern in the aviation industry. To address these problems, organizations such as NASA have set demanding goals for reducing aircraft emissions, fuel burn, and noise. In an effort to reach the goals, a movement toward more-electric aircraft and electric propulsion has emerged. With this movement, the number of critical electrical loads on an aircraft is increasing causing power system reliability to be a point of concern. Currently, power system reliability is maintained through the use of back-up power supplies such as batteries and ram-air-turbines (RATs). However, the increasing power requirements for critical loads will quickly outgrow the capacity of the emergency devices. Therefore, reliability needs to be addressed when designing the primary power distribution system. Power system reliability is a function of component reliability and redundancy. Component reliability is often not determined until detailed component design has occurred; however, the amount of redundancy in the system is often set during the system architecting phase. In order to meet the capacity and reliability requirements of future power distribution systems, a method for redundancy allocation during the system architecting phase is needed. This thesis presents an aircraft power system design methodology that is based upon the engineering decision process. The methodology provides a redundancy allocation strategy and quantitative trade-off environment to compare architecture and technology combinations based upon system capacity, weight, and reliability criteria. The methodology is demonstrated by architecting the power distribution system of an aircraft using turboelectric propulsion. The first step in the process is determining the design criteria which includes a 40 MW capacity requirement, a 20 MW capacity requirement for the an engine-out scenario, and a maximum catastrophic failure rate of one failure per billion flight hours. The next step is determining gaps between the performance of current power distribution systems and the requirements of the turboelectric system. A baseline architecture is analyzed by sizing the system using the turboelectric system power requirements and by calculating reliability using a stochastic flow network. To overcome the deficiencies discovered, new technologies and architectures are considered. Global optimization methods are used to find technology and architecture combinations that meet the system objectives and requirements. Lastly, a dynamic modeling environment is constructed to study the performance and stability of the candidate architectures. The combination of the optimization process and dynamic modeling facilitates the selection of a power system architecture that meets the system requirements and objectives.
