Abstract
Power generation systems, such as nuclear power generation systems, are described herein. A representative power generation system includes a heat source, a heat pipe, and a thermophotovoltaic cell. The heat pipe includes a first region and a second region. The first region is positioned to absorb heat from the heat source, and the second region is positioned to radiate at least a portion of the absorbed heat away from the heat pipe as thermal radiation. The thermophotovoltaic cell is positioned to receive the thermal radiation from the second region of the heat pipe and to convert at least a portion of the thermal radiation to electrical energy. The power generation system can further include another heat pipe positioned to remove waste heat from the thermophotovoltaic cell.
