Researchers are advancing thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, which convert heat into electricity using photovoltaic cells, presenting a silent and low-maintenance energy solution.
Analysis reveals TPV’s potential for cost-effective energy generation, highlighting key factors influencing economic feasibility.
As the world moves towards sustainable energy, researchers are developing new technologies to efficiently convert heat into electricity. One promising approach, thermophotovoltaics (TPV), uses heat from thermal emitters to generate power through specially designed photovoltaic cells. TPV systems stand out for their ability to produce energy quietly and without moving parts, making them low-maintenance and potentially cost-effective. A recent study, published in the Journal of Photonics for Energy, explores the economic viability of TPV technology integrated with solar and energy storage systems, emphasizing its potential for future applications.
