As part of this project, we enhanced the possible efficiency of energy conversion from solar to electricity using our thermally enhanced photoluminescence (TEPL) concept. This effort was published in:
N. Kruger, A. Manor, T. Sabaphati and C. Rotschild, Thermally enhanced photoluminescence: from fundamentals to engineering optimization, Emerging leaders, Journal of optics, (2018)***
*** This paper is part of Emerging leaders in various fields of optics.
In addition, we presented the concept in a few conferences
-N. Kruger, A. Manor, T. Sabaphati and C. Rotschild, Thermally Enhanced Photo-Luminescence solar conversion prototype design SPIE 2018.
-C. Rotschild, Thermally modified photoluminescence matched to GaAs and Si with 40% optical conversion efficiency and 4-fold reduction in heat load, QUANTSOL, Austria, 2018.
Later we focused on the need to use the heat in the TEPL to offer a baseload solar energy solution. This new concept was published in various conferences:
-C. Rotschild, Luminescent solar power for solar baseload energy solution, QUANTSOL, Austria, 2019.
-C. Rotschild, Luminescent solar power for solar baseload energy solution, Solar PACES, South Korea 2019.
-C. Rotschild, Luminescent solar power for solar baseload energy solution, CSP-Madrid, 2019
-S. Haviv, N. Revivo, N. Kruger, C. Rotschild, Luminescent solar power for solar baseload energy solution, SPIE, California 2020
and a paper is currently under review:
