High emissivity, thermally robust emitters for high power density thermophotovoltaics
Minok Park, Shomik Verma, Alina LaPotin +6
Thermal radiative energy transport is essential for high-temperature energy harvesting technologies, including thermophotovoltaics (TPVs) and grid-scale thermal energy storage. How…
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…
High-temperature thermal conductivity measurements of macro-porous graphite
Shomik Verma, Michael Adams, Mary Foxen +3
Graphite is a unique material for high temperature applications and will likely become increasingly important as we attempt to electrify industrial applications. However, high-qual…
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…
