Thermophotovoltaics: A New Paradigm for Power Generation?

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    Thermophotovoltaic systems convert the radiant energy produced by fuel combustion directly into electricity. Such systems can potentially attain high overall conversion efficiencies. Because they may use renewable as well as fossil fuels, they permit a smooth pathway for an environmentally benign method of electrical energy generation. In this work we examine the technology and the kind ofperformance that can be expected.
