Thermophotovoltaic performance metrics and techno-economics: efficiency vs. power density
Shomik Verma, Kyle Buznitsky, Asegun Henry
Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) are a promising new approach for converting heat to electricity. Their performance is primarily characterized by two metrics: efficiency and power density…
Designing for effective heat transfer in a solid thermal energy storage system
Shomik Verma, Colin Kelsall, Kyle Buznitsky +3
Thermal energy storage using sensible heating of a solid storage medium is a potential low-cost technology for long-duration energy storage. To effectively get heat in and out of t…
Power Availability of PV plus Thermal Batteries in real-world electric power grids
Odin Foldvik Eikeland, Colin C. Kelsall, Kyle Buznitsky +4
As variable renewable energy sources comprise a growing share of total electricity generation, energy storage technologies are becoming increasingly critical for balancing energy g…
Thermophotovoltaic Efficiency of 40%
Alina LaPotin, Kevin L. Schulte, Myles A. Steiner +10
We report the fabrication and measurement of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells with efficiencies of >40%, which is a record high TPV efficiency and the first experimental demonstratio…
Technoeconomic Analysis of Thermal Energy Grid Storage Using Graphite and Tin
Colin C. Kelsall, Kyle Buznitsky, Asegun Henry
Energy storage is needed to enable dispatchable renewable energy supply and thereby full decarbonization of the grid. However, this can only occur with drastic cost reductions comp…
