THERMO PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS: GENERATING
ENERGY IN PLACES WHERE THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE
Thermo
photovoltaic (TPV) cells have significant potential in efficiently converting
thermal energy to electrical energy. These applications include conversion from
internal combustion engines, small nuclear sources and even portable fuel-based
sources.
TPVs are
gaining prominence as a novel technology for energy generation in places where
solar cells are not an option and also for harvesting energy from heat sources.
The talk will provide a historical and scientific background on the technology
and will also look into some of the challenges and promises that lie ahead in
its commercial adoption.
Coming up in November 6th, 2014;
