AIP Conference Proceedings 738


Conference Location and Date: Freiburg, Germany, 14-16 June 2004

Subseries: None

Published November 2004; ISBN 0-7354-0222-1 One Volume, Print; 504 pages; 6 3/8 X 9 1/4 inches; Hardcover; $168.00

Readership: Physicists, engineers and researchers working in the following fields: alternate/renewable energy technology; photovoltaic cell technology; direct energy coversion technology; space propulsion; thermoelectric power; fuel cell power; portable and auxiliary power; co-generation; and waste heat utilization

All papers were peer reviwed. Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology is a promising new means for the direct conversion of thermal to electric energy. Its potential applications range from military power, to space propulsion, to commercial products for market niches in auxiliary power sources, co-generation of electricity and heat, and high temperature waste heat utilization. The papers in this conference volume are divided into broad sections based on topic as follows: (a) Systems & Modeling on the performance of the latest TPV systems and current modeling efforts (b) Emitter & Filter Technologies on optical cavity spectral control for energy recuperation, (c) Photovoltaic device technologies based on antimony and InGaAs based cell designs.
