Bifacial thermophotovoltaic energy conversion
A. Datas
Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion efficiency has recently surpassed 30%. The key behind such high efficiency is the inclusion of a highly efficient mirror in the rear of t…
Thermophotovoltaic conversion efficiency measurement at high view factors
Esther López, Irene Artacho, Alejandro Datas
A standardized method for measuring thermophotovoltaic (TPV) efficiency has not been yet established, which makes the reported results difficult to compare. Besides, most of the TP…
Application of quasi-steady state photoconductance technique to lifetime measurements on c-Ge substrates
I. Martin, A. Alcaniz, A. Jimenez +3
Similar to other high quality crystalline absorbers, an accurate knowledge of surface passivation of crystalline Germanium (c-Ge) substrates is crucial for a straightforward improv…
Design of an indium arsenide cell for near-field thermophotovoltaic devices
Daniel Milovich, Juan Villa, Elisa Antolin +4
An indium arsenide photovoltaic cell with gold front contacts is designed for use in a near-field thermophotovoltaic (NF-TPV) device consisting of millimeter-size surfaces separate…
Techno-economic analysis of solar PV power-to-heat-to-power storage and trigeneration in the residential sector
Alejandro Datas, Alba Ramos, Carlos del Cañizo
This article assesses whether it is profitable to store solar PV electricity in the form of heat and convert it back to electricity on demand. The impact of a number of technical a…
Thermionic-enhanced near-field thermophotovoltaics
Alejandro Datas, Rodolphe Vaillon
Solid-state heat-to-electrical power converters are thermodynamic engines that use fundamental particles, such as electrons or photons, as working fluids. Virtually all commerciall…
