Here is an excellent link with a 36 page FAQ type survey paper on the
pros and cons of the different types of available space craft power
systems. Most of these systems could also be used for a lunar base.

It covers solar dynamic, photvoltaic, nuclear, batteries, fuel cells,
thermionic, chemical dynamic.

Essential reading for all would-be spacecraft designers or lunar base
designers.

Enjoy.
