About this ebook
""Heat to Power"" explores thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, a promising technology for converting waste heat into electricity. This book delves into the core principles of TPV energy conversion, covering the materials used in TPV cells and emitters, as well as system design and optimization. TPV systems offer a pathway to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions by capturing wasted thermal energy from industrial processes and power plants. The book highlights how TPV technology can contribute to a more sustainable energy future through decentralized power generation.
The book begins with the fundamental physics and thermodynamics of TPV energy conversion. It then explores the materials science aspects, with a focus on high-temperature emitters and photovoltaic cells. Later chapters delve into system design, configurations, and integration with different heat sources, culminating in case studies of real-world applications. Readers gain insights into the economic and environmental implications of TPV technology, offering a balanced assessment of its potential benefits and challenges in sustainable energy.
