Production of Upgraded Metallurgical Grade (UMG) silicon for a low-cost high-efficiency and reliable PV technology
José Manuel Míguez Novoa, Volker Hoffmann, Eduardo Fornies +12
UMG-Si has the potential to reduce the cost of PV technology and to improve its environmental profile. In this contribution, we summarize the extensive work made in the research an…
Germanium Thermophotovoltaic Devices Achieving 7.3% Efficiency Under High-Temperature Emission by Empirical Calorimetry
A. M. Medrano, E. Lopez, Pablo Garcia-Linares +6
We report the first empirical efficiency measurement of germanium-based thermophotovoltaic devices under high-temperature, high-irradiance conditions using a high view-factor calor…
Evaluating Power-to-Heat-to-Power Storage Potential in Wind- and Solar-Dominated Energy Markets
Alicia López-Ceballos, Alejandro Datas, Ignacio Antón +2
This study assesses the role of Power-to-Heat-to-Power Storage (PHPS) systems, also known as Carnot batteries, in the national energy system of a wind-dominated (Denmark) and a sol…
Reduction of Trapping and Recombination in Upgraded Metallurgical Grade Silicon: Impact of Phosphorous Diffusion Gettering
N. Dasilva-Villanueva, S. Catalán-Gómez, D. Fuertes Marrón +3
Upgraded metallurgical grade (UMG) silicon (Si) has raised interest as an alternative material for solar cells due to its low cost, low environmental impact and low CAPEX. Maximum…
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…
