Theoretical analysis of solar thermophotovoltaic energy conversion with selective meta?lm and cavity re?ector
研究成果
The study concludes that the efficiency of the optimized meta?lm based STPV system at 50 suns can be increased from 10.2% to 17.4% with a cavity made of ideal reflectors, promoting the development of high-efficiency solar thermophotovoltaic systems.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and does not include experimental validation. The analysis assumes certain conditions such as diffuse surfaces and neglects side loss from the absorber-emitter structure for simplicity.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves a theoretical analysis of a low-concentration solar thermophotovoltaic (STPV) system using selective meta?lms as both solar absorber and thermal emitter, along with a cavity re?ector for performance enhancement. The analysis includes energy loss mechanisms and optimization of meta?lm layer thicknesses.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study uses previously-developed selective meta?lms and an InGaAsSb cell for the STPV system. Optical properties of materials are taken from Palik’s data.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The meta?lm consists of SiO2, Si3N4, W layers. The TPV cell is InGaAsSb with a Si3N4 anti-re?ective coating.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves calculating the spectral normal absorptance of the meta?lm, optimizing the meta?lm layer thicknesses, and analyzing the effects of a cavity re?ector on system efficiency.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study uses the transfer-matrix method for spectral normal absorptance calculations and a particle swarm optimization method for optimizing meta?lm layer thicknesses.
