Thermophotovoltaic Generation Of Electricity: Sixth Conference On Thermophotovoltaic Generation Of Electricity Tpv6

Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology is a promising new means for the direct conversion of thermal to electric energy. Its potential applications range from military power, to space propulsion, to commercial products for market niches in auxiliary power sources, co-generation of electricity and heat, and high temperature waste heat utilization. The papers in this conference volume are divided into broad sections based on topic as follows: (a) systems and modeling on the performance of the latest TPV systems and current modeling efforts (b) emitter and filter technologies on optical cavity spectral control for energy recuperation, (c) photovoltaic device technologies based on antimony and InGaAs based cell designs. All papers were peer reviewed.
