摘要
An analytical model for a full solar thermophotovoltaic (STPV) system with cylindrical symmetry is presented. In contrast to the already published TPV models, this model considers both TPV optical cavity and absorber (or heating) systems. Art analytical ray-tracing method has been used to analyse the radiation interchange within a TPV optical cavity. It allows us to calculate the portion of the absorbed power in each component within the system. Using this model, a broad analysis of an STPV system has been carried out, finding the optimum configurations and presenting a detailed loss analysis. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
