In recent years, researchers are fascinated to counter problem of PV-efficiency decline
arising from high operating temperatures, especially in hot climates. This article conducts a …

In order to overcome the increasing demand–supply energy gap due to the rapid
urbanization, labor productivity, consumerism and depletion of fossil fuel resources, there is …

Electrical energy conversion of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is significantly influenced by
the PV module temperature, where the overheating of the module leads to a drop in power …

This article reviews the state of the art and historical development of thermophotovoltaic
(TPV) energy conversion along with that of the main competing technologies, ie Stirling …

A conceptual energy storage system design that utilizes ultra high temperature phase
change materials is presented. In this system, the energy is stored in the form of latent heat …

Latent heat thermophotovoltaic (LHTPV) batteries store electricity as latent heat at very high
temperatures (> 1,000° C) and convert this heat back to electricity on demand using …

Solar energy is one of the most important new energy sources with huge reserves. However,
it has the disadvantage of discontinuous and instability, which can be compensated with a …

In parallel with the increase in population, natural energy resources on earth started to run
out. And this brought along tendency to new energy resources. Therefore, studies on new …
