Thermal Study of the Thermophotovoltaic Emitter

Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) belongs to the third generation of photovoltaics. This technique works on the principle of an effect of use as much of the radiation spectrum for optimal system operation. These systems have great potential application in commerce, military and aerospace industry. This article deals with thermal simulation, which includes the radiation model, of the thermophotovoltaic emitter and its influence on the whole system.
