Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an overview of the developments in thermophotovoltaic (TPV) generation of electricity that have occurred relatively recently-from about 1994 to October 1998. The components considered are the semiconductor converter; the radiator; and the means of recirculating unusable, long-wavelength photons. A short account of the functions and performance of each of these components is given. Also discussed are operational systems and progress in modeling TPV systems.

This book was released on 2003-02-06 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conference included various aspects of thermophotovoltaics, including systems, emitters, and cells. Key papers also dealt with TPV modules, recovery of high-temperature industrial waste heat, stand-alone gas furnaces, and military applications. TPV operates on the same physical principles as photovoltaics. However, it uses infrared radiation rather than light from the sun. TPV may be envisaged as a means of conservation of energy, as stand-alone item for some specific purpose (such as military applications), or in the domestic arena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third National Renewable Energy Laboratory conference, a venue for industry, academia, and federal labs to communicate research findings, demonstrates that there is a vigorous R&D community and an embryonic industry forming that could be of great importance to the Nation, both militarily and for non-military projects. Topics covered at this conference include papers on GaSb and its related ternary and quaternary alloys, the back surface reflector technique for recirculating sub-bandgap photons, and various other technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Compared to the earlier convenings, the third demonstrated more interest in GaSb and its related ternary and quaternary alloys and the back-surface reflector technique for recirculating sub-bandgap photons, but less to multi-layer dielectric stacks and to transparent conducting oxides. After summaries of each of the eight sessions by the chair, the 43 papers cover overviews, devices based on GaSb and related materials, selective radiators, devices based on InGaAs, whole systems, novel concepts, and modeling and characterizing systems. Among the individual topics are modeling the system optical cavity, the advantages of quantum well solar cells, multi-fuel liquid hydrocarbon generators, applications of the super-emissive light pipe, a novel design for monolithically interconnected modules for power conversion, multiple-dopant selective emitter, improvements in GaSb cells, and an overview of European activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermophotovoltaics is the science and technology associated with the direct generation of electricity from high temperature heat. Potential applications include combined heat and power, portable and auxiliary power, radioisotope space power, industrial waste heat recovery and concentrated solar power. This book aims at serving as an introduction to the underlying theory, overview of present day components and system arrangements, and update of the latest developments in the field. The emphasis is placed on the understanding of the critical aspects of efficient thermophotovoltaic system design. The aim is to assist researchers in the field.

This book was released on 2000-04-14 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) Energy Converters generate electricity by photovoltaic conversion of photons emitted from a radiant heat source. A wide range of fuels can drive the heat source, and the technology supports a diverse range of potential applications. The proceedings of the July 1995 conference, sponsored by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) under contract to the US Dept. of Energy, include sessions on thermophotovoltaic systems design and performance; markets and applications; optical system development; TPV cells (two sessions--one devoted to InGaAs cells); and emitter design and testing.
