abstract:
In the last decade Thermo-Photo-Voltaic (TPV) generator
has gained an increasing attention as cogeneration system
for the distributed generation sector. Nevertheless, these
systems are not fully developed and studied: several
aspects need to be further investigated and completely
understood.
The aim of this study is to highlight and outline the current
state of the art of the TPV generation; more in details, in
the part 1 of this study, the characteristics of a TPV
generator will be analyzed with a particular attention to the
physical relationships which govern the behavior of its main
components. Further, the current technology regarding the
combustor, the emitter, the optical filter and the
photovoltaic cells will be analyzed and investigated taking
into account both the role of each component and also
their integration in the whole system.
