The aim of the project is to design a renewable energy system that can meet the current and projected electricity demands for the island of Great Cumbrae. This should be achieved by providing a stable electricity output and the meet the calculated total annual base load supply of 11.29 GWh. In addition to providing a stable supply of electricity, the environment and social impacts that arise from the project relating to Great Cumbrae should be minimised as well as coinciding with a techn...
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 pa...
