“…This is due to light band from 600 nm to 650 nm cannot be utilized by silicon CPV cell efficiently. This is consistent with the results from Reference . Therefore, we can make a conclusion that HB650 solid filter is more suitable than HB600 filter as the absorptive solid filter for silicon CPV cell.…”

“…The introduced volumetric absorption combined spectral beam splitter consists of the infrared light absorber‐fluid based filter and the visible light absorber‐solid based filter. In fact, Moriji et al firstly introduced the volumetric absorption combined spectral beam splitter for CPV/T systems. But the results indicated that the electrical efficiency was only 3.8% relative to the incident light when the receiver incorporated with combined solid (semiconductor doped glass‐SDG) and liquid (propylene glycol‐PG) filters under a parabolic trough concentrator .…”

Summary Spectral beam splitting is a promising technology to achieve the maximum electrical and thermal outputs from concentrating photovoltaic/thermal (CPV/T) systems simultaneously. In this article, a novel CPV/T receiver is proposed by incorporating a fluid based filter together with a solid absorptive filter. The geometry of the receiver is developed for a designed linear flat mirror concentrator. According to the optical transmittance of both fluid based filters and solid absorptive filters, as well as their corresponding merit functions, four fluid filters and two solid filters are determined to be the candidates of the combined filter for the silicon concentrator solar cell. Then, a complete solar radiation propagation process from concentrator to the designed CPV/T receiver is simulated using ray tracing software‐LightTools. The results show that the surface illumination uniformity of the PV module filtered by each combined filter under the linear flat mirror concentrator is higher than 96%. Using 5 g/L CoSO4 solution and HB650 as the combined filter, 33.67% of the concentrated light can be directed to the PV module with the remainder collected by the filter as thermal energy and the silicon CPV cells can convert 27.06% of this energy into electrical power. This contributes to the fact that 92.43% of the light striking the PV module is within 650‐1100 nm, which is the spectral response range of the cell can work efficiently. The total efficiency of 49.88% can be achieved with such a filter and the electrical efficiency is 9.1% with respect to the total incident power on the receiver.

“…Jiang et al analyzed the optical properties of the two‐stage parabolic trough concentrating PV/thermal system using spectral beam splitting the technology and predicted that the optical efficiency is up to 76.4%. Mojiri et al proposed a novel configuration for concentrating hybrid PV‐thermal receivers for linear solar concentrators and found that 77% of the light in the optimal spectral band can be collected by the PV cells. An et al investigated experimentally the performance of a concentrating solar PV‐thermal collector with Cu 9 S 5 nanofluid spectral splitting filter and found that the maximum total efficiency of the PV/T collector is 34.2%, which is markedly higher than that without the filter.…”

The spectrum splitting system (SSS) is an efficient approach to relieve the energy losses in the solar cell and boost the efficiency of solar energy utilization. A model of the concentrated solar spectrum splitting photovoltaic (PV) cell-gas turbine (GT) hybrid system is established to evaluate the performance of the system and predict the maximum efficiency. The numerical calculations show that the area ratio of the solar collector to the PV cell significantly affects the maximum efficiency of the spectrum system, but most of the previous studies are not considered. The maximum efficiency of the system is 50.6% when the parameters including the cell voltage, collector temperature, and band gap energy of the PV cell are optimized at the same areas of the collector and PV cell. The proposed SSS can achieve the maximum efficiency of 52.3% when the area ratio of the collector to the PV cell is further optimized. The results obtained are compared with those of a single concentrating PV cell or solar-powered GT, and consequently, the advantages of a concentrating spectrum splitting PV cell-GT hybrid system are revealed.
