A program-management plan with critical-path definition for Combustion Augmentation with Thermionic Energy Conversion (CATEC) [PDF]
Thermionic energy conversion (TEC) is discussed. In recent TEC-topping analyses, overall plant efficiency (OPE) and cost of electricity (COE) improved slightly with current capabilities and substantially with fully matured technologies.
