Microgap thermophotovoltaic systems with low emission temperature and high electric output

, 2015
We theoretically show that a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system enhanced by a wire metamaterial opens the door to a prospective microgap thermophotovoltaics which will combine high electric output with relatively low temperatures of the emitter.

Increasing Annual Energy Yield of PV Parks With Inverter Focused Control of On-Load Tap Changers to Enhance AC Power Output and DC Voltage Range

IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society
Large photovoltaic (PV) parks usually span several voltage levels, separated by stationary transformers. In such parks, inverters face restrictions and losses that originate from varying voltage levels on the ac and dc side.
