【 摘 要 】

Hybrid photovoltaic-thermal systems can decouple IR light from visible light, allowing it to be collected separately by spectrum-optimized mechanisms for increased total efficiency. To demonstrate this, we have designed and prototyped a transmissive spectrum-splitting concentrator photovoltaic module that maximizes solar energy conversion by utilizing the entire solar spectrum. The system first collects visible light using IR-transmissive triple-junction photovoltaic cells to achieve an in-band module efficiency of eta(IB)(m) = 34.7% for light of wavelengths lambda < 870 nm. Simultaneously, 58.8% of light with lambda > 870 nm is transmitted through the cells for collection by a thermal receiver. By combining electrical and thermal power collection, 75% of incident solar power is collected, far surpassing the collection capability of only photovoltaics. The module was tested on a dual-axis tracked parabolic concentrator dish at up to 160 suns for 60 cumulative on-sun hours while maintaining photovoltaic cell temperatures at an average of 50 degrees C via active cooling. The system performed as expected based on modeled values, and represents a cost-effective path forward for dual-generation of electricity and high-temperature heat with increased total efficiency. The capability is valuable in a wide range of commercial and industrial cogeneration applications. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
