| Abstract | This paper examines the potential use of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for power generation in manned lunar habitats, addressing the challenges posed by extreme temperature variations on the lunar surface, which range from 90 K to 390 K. While these fluctuations create difficulties for construction, they also present opportunities for generating electricity through TEGs, which convert heat flux directly into electrical energy. The study simulates the performance of a TEG-based system under lunar environmental conditions, including the multi heat storage tank system. The simulation assesses the system with two aspects: the amount and the stability of the power generation. The results are analyzed, highlighting key influencing factors and pointing to the need for further research into optimized system design. These findings contribute to foundational research for lunar missions, offering insights into sustainable power solutions and the broader potential for long-term lunar habitation and resource utilization. |
