Upper bounds for solar thermophotovoltaic efficiency

Badescu, Viorel - In: Renewable Energy 30 (2005) 2, pp. 211-225

The main components of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices are the primary lens (or mirror), the absorber, the PV cell, and a photon recuperator system. A theory integrating all these components is used in this paper to analyse a particular type of TPV device (plane disk absorber and PV cell). The...
